Cureus. 2019 Sep 17;11(9):e5679. doi: 10.7759/cureus.5679.

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.
