"The pons (TA: pons; plural: pontes 3), also less commonly known as pons Varolii, is the middle portion of the three contiguous parts of the brainstem, sitting above the medulla and below the midbrain. It acts as a relay between the cerebellum and cerebral hemispheres."
"Gasperini syndrome: basilar artery or AICA"
"lateral pontine syndrome (Marie-Foix syndrome): basilar artery or AICA"
"The pons has a bulbous shape and has two main components - the basis pontis (basal/ventral part) and the pontine tegmentum (dorsal part)."
"The basis pontis consists of white matter tracts (e.g. anterior and lateral corticospinal, corticobulbar and corticopontine tracts) with transverse fibres contributing to the bulk of the pons."
"anteriorly: prepontine cistern (contains CN V & VI)"
"The pons (TA: pons; plural: pontes 3), also less commonly known as pons Varolii, is the middle portion of the three contiguous parts of the brainstem, sitting above the medulla and below the midbrain. It acts as a relay between the cerebellum and cerebral hemispheres."
"trigeminal nerve (CN V): many motor, sensory and mesencephalic nuclei extending from the pons to the upper cervical cord"
"facial nerve (CN VII): including superior salivary, motor and solitary tract nuclei"
