Abstract:The upper end of the central canal of the human spinal cord has been repeatedly implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases, yet its precise normal position in the medulla oblongata and upper cervical spinal cord remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to describe the anatomy of the upper end of the central canal with quantitative measurements and a three‐dimensional (3D) model. Seven formalin‐embalmed human brainstems were included, and the central canal was identified in serial axial histologica… Show more
