The interpeduncular cistern (basal cistern) is a wide cavity where the arachnoid extends across between the two temporal lobes.
It encloses the cerebral peduncles and the structures contained in the interpeduncular fossa, and contains the arterial circle of Willis. This article was originally based on an entry from a public domain edition of Gray's Anatomy. As such, some of the information contained herein may be outdated.
