Summary

A cephalic reference plane is described through the chiasmatic notch and the posterior commissure, which is easily identified on mid-sagittal cuts using magnetic resonance imaging. The horizontal cuts so obtained are almost parallel to the lateral fissure and are perpendicular to the axis of the brain stem.

Résumé

Définition en résonance magnétique d'un plan de référence céphalique alignant le point chiasmatique et la commissure postérieure, facilement déterminé sur une coupe sagittale médiane et permettant d'orienter les coupes horizontales selon une direction proche du sillon latéral, et de façon quasiment orthogonale à l'axe du tronc cérébral.
