MAMMALIAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Mouse Adult Gross Anatomy Ontology and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology are downloaded weekly from the Mouse Genome Informatics databases at Jackson Laboratories (ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/index.html).

Accession:MP:0030309 term browser browse the term
Definition:any structural anomaly of the most inferior and deepest of the cranial fossae, located between the foramen magnum and tentorium cerebelli, which houses the brainstem and cerebellum; it is bounded anteriorly and medially by the dorsum sellae of the sphenoid bone; anteriorly and laterally by the superior border of the petrous part of the temporal bone; and posteriorly by the internal surface of the squamous part of the occipital bone; its floor consists of the mastoid part of the temporal bone and the squamous, condylar and basilar parts of the occipital bone
Synonyms:exact_synonym: abnormal fossa cranii posterior morphology
 broad_synonym: abnormal posterior fossa morphology
