Roof 4th Ventricle

It corresponds to the ventral surface of the cerebellum.

Roof 4th ventricle.

The roof of the fourth ventricle has presents a tent like apex at the intersection of it s superior and inferior parts. The inferior medullary velum is all that remains of the connection between the nodule and flocculus. The fourth ventricle has a roof at its upper posterior surface and a floor at its lower anterior surface and side walls formed by the cerebellar peduncles nerve bundles joining the structure on the posterior side of the ventricle to the structures on the anterior side. The upper portion of the roof is formed by the cerebellum.

The roof of fourth ventricle is the dorsal surface of the fourth ventricle. In contrast to the superior roof the inferior roof of the fourth ventricle is formed mainly by two thin membranes the tela choroidea and the inferior medullary velum. The superior part of the roof is formed by the superior cerebellar peduncles and the superior medullary velum thin sheet of white matter. Median eminence is seen in the floor of the fourth ventricle.

The apex of the tent goes posteriorly into the white core of the cerebellum. Tela choroidea of the the fourth ventricle. Taeniae with the obex. This apex also known as the fastigium extends into the white core of the cerebellum.
