    Study Notes

    Fourth Ventricle

    Lateral Border

    • Superiorly bounded by the superior cerebellar peduncle
    • Inferiorly bounded by the inferior cerebellar peduncle and Gracile and Cuneate tubercles
    • Forms lateral recesses in the middle

    Roof (Posterior Wall)

    • Superiorly bounded by superior medullary velum connecting the two superior cerebellar peduncles
    • Inferiorly bounded by inferior medullary velum connecting the two inferior cerebellar peduncles
    • Located in the middle part of the cerebellum

    Choroid Plexus of 4th Ventricle

    • T-shaped plexus attached to the inferior medullary velum
    • Horizontal part extends into lateral recesses of each ventricle through foramina of Luschka
    • Supplied by the posterior inferior cerebellar arteries
