OBJECTIVE: To define the anatomy of dentate nucleus and cerebellar peduncles, demonstrating the surgical application of anatomic landmarks in cerebellar resections. METHODS: Twenty cerebellar ...

Numerous unnamed pontine nuclei reside in the basilar pons. The nuclei of the trigeminal nerve are large, with a motor nucleus in the pons and sensory nuclei extending from the midbrain to the upper ...

The cerebellum is highly interconnected with other CNS structures through three cerebellar peduncles. The main inputs from the spinal cord and vestibular system enter the cerebellum by the inferior ...

An acute auditory symptom without associated neurological symptoms or signs usually results from dysfunction of the peripheral auditory system located between the cochlea and the auditory nerve distal ...

An infarct in the pons may affect the nuclei and the tracts in the pons, possibly leading to middle cerebellar peduncle degeneration 26, 27, 28. A 45-year-old female patient presented with symptoms of ...

The dorsal portion. This section of the pons is also known as the tegmentum. The inferior and superior cerebellar peduncle relates to this portion of the pons.

18 F-C05-05 also lit up the putamen and middle cerebellar peduncle, which connects the cerebellum to the pons, in three people with MSA (image below). These areas are known hotspots for glial ...

Associated Conditions Injury can occur to the pons from trauma or other injury to the brainstem. An injury to the pons would impair the cranial nerve functions associated with this part of the brain ...

Electromyography findings indicated neuronopathy, and brain MRI revealed diffuse cerebellar atrophy as well as T2 hyperintensities in bilateral middle cerebellar peduncles, cerebellar white matter ...
