The cistern of lamina terminalis is one of the subarachnoid cisterns.
It is situated (depending upon the source) either superior to the lamina terminalis,[1] or rostral/anterior to the lamina terminalis and anterior commissure between the two frontal lobes of the cerebrum.
[4] The cistern of lamina terminalis interconnects the chiasmatic cistern and pericallosal cistern.
[2] The cistern contains the anterior cerebral arteries,[4][2][3] the anterior communicating artery,[2][3] hypothalamic artery, the origin of the fronto-orbital arteries, and Heubner's artery.
