| Description |
The crescent-shaped gasserian ganglion lies on the anterior superior surface of the petrous bone in the middle fossa of the skull. It is an expansion of the proximal sensory root from the brainstem and lies within Meckels cave, surrounded by arachnoid and dura. Meckels cave is bounded by dura laterally, the ascending precavernous portion of the internal carotid artery medially, and the cavernous sinus anteriorly. Meckels cave often can be identified on computed tomographic (CT) scanning or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. |
