ABSTRACT
Objective:
to define the limits of the ambient cistern and to show the different ways to approach that space.Method:
four formalin-fixed adults were examined using X6 to X40 magnification. The vessels were filled with colored silicon.Results:
The ambient cistern is located in both sides of the mesencephalon; it is in relation with the crural cistern in front, the cuadrigeminal cistern behind and the cerebellopontine cistern bellow. The diferent approaches to the ambient cistern are; 1)transchoroidal approach, 2)infraoccipital transtentorial approach and 3) supracerebellar transtentorial approach.Conclusion:
the transchoroidal, infraoccipital transtentorial and supracerebellar transtentorial are options when there are a lesion in the ambient cistern
