Transverse cerebral fissure

The transverse cerebral fissure (cerebral fissure of Bichat) is a fissure between the corpus callosum and the fornix above the thalamus and the roof of the third ventricle below. It extends posterioinferiorly above the hippocampal fissure, and connects with the choroidal fissure.

With its C-Shape, the transverse cerebral fissure separates the thalamus inferiorly from the parahippocampal gyrus, and separates superiorly the thalamus from the fornix and the corpus callosum.

The transverse cerebral fissure contain the internal cerebral veins and the cistern of transverse fissure.
