title: [Descriptive anatomy of the posterior root of the trigeminal nerve (preliminary study)].
abstract: By 25 dissections, an angulation of 40 degrees at the emergency of the trigeminal nerve was observed. To the three types of fibers described by SICARD, a fourth type is added of V2 fibers wrapped by cranio-median and caudo-lateral fibres. Two groups form the motor root, a postero-superior group and an antero-inferior group. Anastomoses exist between the motor and sensitive roots as well as a few unusual sensitive rootlets.
