The cranial cavity is depressed, elongated, and rather small, and the cerebral fossa lies entirely in front of the cerebellar fossa.
The cranial cavity is decidedly small, the reduction being specially noticeable in the cerebral fossa, which is not much larger than the cerebellar fossa.
The great size of the cranial part of the skull is mainly due to the immense development of the cerebral fossa, which commonly completely overlaps the olfactory fossa in front, and the cerebellar fossa behind.
The superior cerebellar peduncle is the most internal of these and decussates with its fellow of the opposite side so that the two tegmenta are continuous across the middle line.
More externally the mesial fillet is seen, while dorsal to the cerebellar peduncle is the posterior longitudinal bundle.
Extending horizontally backwards from the middle cerebellar peduncle, along the outer border of each hemisphere is the great horizontal fissure, which divides the hemisphere into its tentorial and occipital surfaces.
If the section happens to pass through the superior corpus quadrigeminum a characteristic circular area appears between the cerebellar peduncle and the fillet, which, from its tint, is called the red nucleus.
The upper part of the fourth ventricle is bounded by the superior cerebellarpeduncles which meet just before the inferior quadrigeminal bodies are reached.
Of the intracranial complications, meningitis is most frequent, and next in order cerebellar abscess.
If, however, no cerebellar abscess be present the labyrinthine operation will be followed by nystagmus strongly directed to the opposite side.
This is more likely to occur in a cerebellar abscess in consequence of direct pressure on the medullary respiratory centres.
If symptoms of a cerebellar abscess or of meningeal irritation be present in addition to those suggestive of a labyrinthine affection.
The immediate treatment is to do artificial respiration and to open the cerebellar abscess by the quickest method possible.
In the majority of cases this method is far superior to opening the cerebellum behind the lateral sinus, especially as it is now recognized that the chief cause of cerebellar abscess is internal-ear suppuration.
Precedent to the works of Morel and Moreau appeared their source and inspiration, Prosper Lucas's Natural Heredity.
Its abuse as a narcotic is much older, even among the English-speaking races, than is generally suspected.
The retarded skull growth would have to be looked upon as a tertiary occurrence and the cerebellar defect as a final ensuing result.
Ordinarily with defective development of one cerebral hemisphere thecerebellar defect is on the opposite side, herein following the course of the anatomical connections of that development and of the secondary degenerations.
The cortex of the cerebellar hemisphere receives fibres both from the sensorial periphery of the body and the semicircular canals.
In Muhr's case (cited by Spitzka) the atrophic cerebellar hemisphere was on the same side with the atrophic cerebral hemisphere.
Nor is the difference in the extent to which the cerebral overlaps the cerebellar cavity less singular.
Lemurs, as in the lower mammals, the line is much more inclined in the same direction, and the cerebellar chamber projects considerably beyond the cerebral.
The pons Varolii is formed on the ventral side of the floor of the cerebellar region as a bundle of transverse fibres at about the same time as the olivary bodies.
Tumours in the cerebello-pontine angle, in addition to the special symptoms associated with cerebellar lesions, give rise to symptoms of interference with nerve-roots of the same side.
Tumours and cysts in the cerebellum give rise to symptoms similar to those of cerebellar abscess (p.
At the Congress of Toulouse two patients were shown by Desterac,[174] both of whom had suffered since the age of eight from a disease akin either to Friedreich's disease or to hereditary cerebellar ataxia.
In fact, the clinical picture seemed to us to be quite other than that associated with organic disease such as Friedreich's disease or hereditary cerebellar ataxia.
In this latter category may be placed the case put on record by Oppenheim, where torticollic spasms were produced by pressure of a cerebellar tumour on the cranial nerves.
Yawning occurs in a most intractable form in meningeal affections, and in cerebral and cerebellar tumours.
According to Neiding, the disorder is not a functional one but an organic cerebellar disorder.
We here deal with a cerebellar syndrome plus a hemianesthesia.
With respect to cerebellar findings Mott remarks that the changes found are very similar to those described by Crile in the case of an exhausted and wounded soldier.
According to Cassirer, this case is one largely of psychogenic origin, with possibly an organic cerebellar nucleus.
Tests showed that he had no disease of the vestibular apparatus and no sign either of cerebral or of cerebellar disease.
According to Beck, there was in his case of Shell-shock Rombergism no ear disease or any evidence of cerebellar or cerebral disease.
As I stated before, I believe there was shredded macerated cerebral and cerebellar tissues both in the wounds and on the fragments of the skull attached to the dura.
The cause of death, I would say, would be massive head injuries with loss of large amounts of cerebral and cerebellar tissues and massive blood loss.
This was a large, gaping wound in the right posterior part, with cerebral and cerebellar tissue being damaged and exposed.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "cerebellar" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
