Dissection of Sagittal Stratum and Inferior Longitudinal Fascicle
1Bezmialem Dragos Hastanesi, Beyin ve Sinir Cerrahisi Kliniği, İstanbul, Türkiye
The Sagittal Stratum is a projection fiber system formed by multiple fiber bundles, the extension of the corona radiata in the occipital
and temporal region. Inferior longitudinal fascicle and Optic radiation are part of this fiber system. The sagittal stratum covers the
lateral surface of the temporal horn and atrium of the lateral ventricle from the posterior border of the insula. The sagittal stratum
contains fibers located between the arcuate/superior longitudinal fascicle fibers and the tapetal fibers originating from the splenium
deep. In the gradual Sagittal Stratum fiber dissection, there are 5 layers from lateral to medial. There are middle longitudinal fascicle
in the upper superficial part, inferior longitudinal fascicle in the lower, inferior frontal occipital fascicle ventrally at the level of the
external capsule, and claustrocortical fibers dorsally, posterior leg of the anterior commissure, optic radiation fibers course with
retrolenticular internal capsule fibers, posterior thalamic peduncle fibers. The inferior longitudinal fascicle is part of this fiber bundle.
