Anatomical landmarks of the Rhomboid fossa (floor of the 4th ventricle), its length and its width.
Described are: 1. Length and width values of the rhomboid fossa. 2. Number and development of the transverse and oblique striae in the bottom area of the fourth ventricle. 3. The course of the facial nerve inside the pons and the medulla oblongata. 4. Some fiber tracts and nuclei in the tegmentum pontis and the medulla oblongata. 5.
