Re: neuroanat bingousmle - 12-05-08 05:11 a subfalcine herniation is the herniation of the medial aspect of cerebral hemispheres under the falx which may compress anteriior cerebral artery.... this does not explain the s/s experienced by the patient. wanna give another try...

Re: neuroanat bingousmle - 12-05-08 23:27 yes , its uncal herniation also called transtentorial herniation, in which the uncus herniates under the tentorium, compressing the third cranial nerve... can you list other neurological complications that can occur in this situation
