Part I: General Aspects 1. Cranial and cerebral base and its landmarks 2. Craniobasal and cerebrobasal structures close to the basal cisterns 3. Architecture of basal cisterns 4. Topography of basal cisterns 5. Extradural extensions of the basal cisterns Part II: Special Aspects 1. Cisterna laminae terminalis 2. Cisterna valleculae (carotid cistern) 3. Cisterna fossae lat. (Sylvii) 4. Cisterna chiasmatis 5. Cisterna interpeduncularis 6.
