fossa
The posterior fossa houses the brainstem and cerebellum. The brainstem contains all the cranial nerve nuclei and many efferent and afferent fiber tracts that connect the brain with the rest of the body. The cerebellum is the major organ of coordination for all motor functions, as well as mental activities of the brain.
Many disease processes can occur in the posterior fossa. Tumors can arise from the brain tissue itself, the cranial nerves, the meninges, or the skull. All these structures are also susceptible to infection and inflammation. Vascular disease can lead to infarction or hemorrhage. Finally, the posterior fossa can be invaded by neoplasms and infections from the head and neck regions.
Magnetic resonance (MR) is ideally suited for imaging the posterior fossa. The high contrast resolution and multiplanar capabilities of MR make possible accurate correlation of pathology with the complex anatomy of this region. Gadolinium enhancement is often helpful to identify and characterize lesions.
