HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Term:Abnormal posterior cranial fossa morphology
go back to main search page
Accession:HP:0000932 term browser browse the term
Definition:An abnormality of the fossa cranii posterior (the posterior fossa), which is made up primarily of the occipital bone and which surrounds to the foramen magnum.
Comment:The floor of the cranial cavity is divided into three distinct depressions called the anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossa. The posterior cranial fossa, the most posterior and deep of the three cranial fossae, accommodates the brainstem and cerebellum. Abnormalities of the posterier cranial fossa can be demonstrated by cerebral magnetic resonance imaging or computer tomography.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Abnormality of the posterior cranial fossa;   Abnormality of the posterior fossa;   Posterior fossa anomaly
 alt_id: HP:0007306
 xref: UMLS:C3280768
