Analysis of brainstem areas in the sagittal plane containing the mesencephalic aqueduct. (a) Upper and low boundaries of the brainstem. Line A passes through the superior cerebellar peduncle (upper limit of the pons) and the lower edge of the quadrigeminal plate, while Line B is parallel to Line A and passes through the inferior cerebellar peduncle (lower limit of the pons). Line C is drawn along the foramen magnum (lower limit of the medulla). (b) Midbrain area above Line (A) (c) Pontine area between Lines A and (B) (d) Total brainstem area.
