    AbstractThe basal subarachnoid cisterns are expansions of the subarachnoid space and transmit cranial nerves and intracranial vessels. Providing neurosurgeons with key concepts, anatomical landmarks, and techniques can result in safer procedures and better patient outcomes. In this review, we discuss the major basal subarachnoid cisterns including their embryology, history, anatomical descriptions, and use during surgical approaches.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
