Abstract

Aim: Pons is an important posterior fossa structure that contains vital centers. It is essential to know the average morphometric measurement values of the pons in the early diagnosis of developmental and acquired diseases of this structure.

Özet

Amaç: Pons, vital merkezleri içeren önemli bir posterior fossa yapısıdır. Bu yapının gelişimsel ve edinsel hastalıklarının erken tanısında ponsun ortalama morfometrik ölçüm değerlerinin bilinmesi önemlidir.
