French term or phrase: jonction bulbo-cérébello-médullaire
Hi,
I am translating a complex Brain MRI report from France.
In the Findings section and under the heading "In the posterior fossa" I have "la jonction bulbo-cérébello-médullaire est en place."
Thanks

B. Le tronc cérébral et le cerveletLe tronc cérébral représente la continuité entre le diencéphale et la moelle
cervicale. Sa limite supérieure est déterminée par son passage dans l'incisure tentorielle où le mésencéphale se
prolonge vers le haut par le diencéphale sans limite anatomique véritable ; le repère habituel étant latéralement
représenté par les tractus optiques. Sa limite inférieure est constituée par la jonction bulbo-médullaire. Il est formé de
3 éléments superposés : la moelle allongée (bulbe), le pont, et le mésencéphale :
la moelle allongée est un cône tronqué de 3 cm reposant sur le tiers inférieur du clivus. Son "collet" répond à
l'interligne occipito-atloïdien.
le pont est une saillie transversale de 2,5 cm à convexité ventrale reposant sur le tiers moyen et le tiers supérieur
du clivus. De cette saillie semblent sortir les pédoncules cérébraux.
le mésencéphale est formé de deux cordons aplatis et divergents (les pédoncules cérébraux) qui s'engagent
sous les tractus optiques, qui supportent en arrière la lame tectale, et qui traversent l'incisure tentorielle en "se
couchant" sur la selle turcique.

The cerebral hemispheres form the largest part of the brain, occupying the anterior and middle cranial fossae in the skull and extending backwards over the tentorium cerebelli. They are made up of the cerebral cortex, the basal ganglia, tracts of synaptic connections, and the ventricles containing CSF.
The Diencephalon (not shown above) includes the thalamus, hyopthalamus, epithalamus and subthalamus, and forms the central core of the brain. It is surrounded by the cerebral hemispheres.
The Midbrain (not shown) is located at the junction of the middle and posterior cranial fossae.
The Pons sits in the anterior part of the posterior cranial fossa- the fibres within the structure connect one cerebral hemisphere with its opposite cerebellar hemisphere.
The Medulla Oblongata is continuous with the spinal cord, and is responsible for automatic control of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
The Cerebellum overlies the pons and medulla, extending beneath the tentorium cerebelli and occupying most of the posterior cranial fossa. It is mainly concerned with motor functions that regulate muscle tone, coordination, and posture.

The cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is a wedge-shaped cisternal space within the posterior fossa bounded by the petrous temporal bone laterally, the cerebellum and brainstem medially, and the lower cranial nerves (CN IX, X, and XI) inferiorly.

junction of the cerebellum, medulla oblongata, ans spinal cord


Explanation:
I think this refers to the junction between the structures at the level of the foramen magnum, in the posterior cranial fossa, the point at which the medulla oblongata transitions into the spinal cord and passes into the vertebral canal. bulbo refers to the bulbe rachidien (medulla oblongata) médullaire refers to the spinal cord. The significance of these structures being in place is that increased intracranial pressure resulting from eg a brain haemorrhage can drive these structures downwards out of the fossa through the foramen, which can be fatal. The cerebellopontine angle is higher up

Medulla oblongata is the terminal part of the brainstem. It sits in the posterior cranial fossa, below the tentorium cerebelli. The rostral medulla is continuous with the pons superiorly, with which it forms the pontomedullary junction. The caudal medulla continues onto the spinal cord inferiorly, just above the origin of the first pair of the cervical spinal nerves.

  -> Hi Liz, These neural structures may well be involved. However as we are dealing with an MRI i.e. gross anatomy, I think the text is simply referring to the physical area where these structures meet, and saying that they are not displaced.

agree  Nicolas Gambardella: Oui, médullaire ici fait référence à la medulla et non à la moelle épinière

  -> Thank you very much!

disagree  Sue Davis: Sorry Nicolas but you are wrong. There cannot be two terms here that refer to the medulla oblongata. Bulbo = bulbe rachidien (medulla oblongata). Médullaire = cordon médullaire i.e. spinal cord (look it up). And there is no mention of the pons.
