orbitomeatal plane

The term orbitomeatal plane denotes a horizontal plane for brain stereotaxis based on cranial landmarks. It passes through the inferior margin of the orbits and the openings of the external auditory canals. Also known as the baseline of Reid, it lies10 millimeters ventral to the Horsley-Clarke zero plane ( Carpenter-1983, Winters-1969 ).

Also known as: Frankfurt zero plane, Basihorizontal zeroplane, baseline of Reid, Horsley-Frankfurt zero reference line, orbitomeatal plane

Citation:

NeuroNames is used as a term's source if no published source of the term has been found. In most cases, the term is an English translation of a commonly used Latin term. In some cases it is a Latin translation of an English term for which no published Latin equivalent has been found. Latin roots of words not found in the neuroanatomical literature are derived from Cassell's Latin Dictionary (Simpson-59).
