Bochdalek flower basket

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bochdalek flower basket is an anatomical structure of the human brain . It was named after the Prague anatomist Vincent Alexander Bochdalek (1801-1883). It is the clinical name of that part of the liquor-forming vein plexus ( plexus choroideus ) of the fourth cerebral ventricle ( plexus choroideus ventriculi quarti ) that protrudes through the lateral openings ( Aperturae laterales ventriculi quarti , syn. Foramina Luschkae ) into the basal bridge cistern. The fine-grain structure of this vein network is reminiscent of a small flower basket with a lot of imagination. The red color is lost on the fixed brain.
