Tentorium Cerebelli: the Bridge Between the Central and Peripheral Nervous System, Part 2

Bruno Bordoni et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

The tentorium cerebelli is a meningeal portion in relation to the skull, the nervous system, and the cervical tract. In this second part, the article discusses the systematic tentorial relationships, such as the central and cervical neurological connections, the venous circulation and highlights possible clinical alterations that could cause pain. To understand the function of anatomy, we should always remember that every area of the human body is never a segment, but a functional continuum.

Keywords: cranio; fascia; neurological connections; pain; tentorium cerebelli; venous circulation.
