Posterior fossa measurements I. The normal size of the posterior fossa

Pediatric Radiology, 1978
The posterior fossa area was defined as that situated below Twining's line while the one above was called the supratentorial area. A ratio has been calculated: Posterior fossa area/Supratentorial area X 100 = posterior fossa ratio. Above 7 years this was (mean) 16.5% +/- 2 and below 7 years 14.0% +/- 4, with the ranges (13.2-20.2) and (9.0 - 19.4 ...
