1 Coronal section of the head; ventral view of the brainstem and cerebrum. A large epidural hematoma has shifted the brain from right to left. Notice the herniation of the right uncus over the tentorial edge. Follow along the vertebral and basilar arteries to their terminal branches, the posterior cerebral arteries. Notice how the posterior cerebral artery on the right impinges on the IIIrd nerve. (Redrawn with permission from Netter F. Ciba Symp 1966;18, Plate XI.)
