Surgical anatomy of the cerebellum, dentate nucleus, the 4th ventricle and the clinical importance of dentate nucleus

Abstract

Being thoroughly familiar with surgical neuroanatomy of the cerebellum gives a chance to the surgeon to know the three dimensional anatomy of the brain and the skull base as a road map regardless of the approach technique to pathological lesion. The surgical anatomy of cerebellum and the fourth ventricle was studied by microsurgical methods on twelve human cadaver brains. The primary aim of this three-partite article series is to summarize the microsurgical anatomy of the cerebellum, fourth ventricle and the den-tate nucleus according to clinical point of view considering the surgical ap-proach techniques.
