A third, the falx cerebelli, projects downward from the tentorium cerebelli between the two cerebellar hemispheres. |
These folds include the falx cerebri, and the tentorium, which separates the cerebral hemispheres from the cerebellum. |
The closest differential diagnosis on imaging for a convexity or falx chondroma is meningioma. |
One of these, the falx cerebri, is a sickle-shaped partition lying between the two hemispheres of the brain. |
The falx is narrow and attached firmly to the crista galli of the ethmoid bone. |
The Late Latin falco is believed to derive from falx as meaning a sickle, referencing the claws of the bird. |
