    This document provides information about the posterior fossa in three sections. It describes the key anatomical structures in the posterior fossa as the brain stem and cerebellum. It shows an axial CT image of the posterior fossa at the level of the pons. And it notes that the sagittal plane can be useful for visualizing the brain stem anatomy and that MRI may be needed in some cases to evaluate brainstem pathology.

    CT Brain Anatomy
    Posterior fossa
    Key points
    The posterior fossa accommodates the cerebellum and
    brain stem

    The posterior fossa accommodates the cerebellum and


    brain stem. Superiorly the cerebellum is separated from
    the cerebral hemispheres by the tentorium cerebelli.

    Posterior fossa
    The brain stem and cerebellum occupy the posterior
    fossa

    Posterior fossa
    Imaging software allows visualisation of the structures
    of the brain in different planes
    The sagittal plane can be useful to show the anatomy
    of the brain stem
    Note: MRI may be required if there is specific concern
    regarding brainstem pathology
