Posterior clinoid processes
Other Terms: Processus clinoideus posterior, Processus clinoïde postérieur
Description
The posterior clinoid processes, of variable size, project anterolateral from the dorsum sellae serving as attachment sites for the tentorium cerebelli, the dural roof for the cerebellum.
Etymology
The term clinoid is derived from the Greek kline meaning bed and eidos for form or shape. This is because the processes resemble the posts of a bed.
Latin
Processus clinoideus posterior
French
Processus clinoïde postérieur
