Article does not conform to Terminologia Anatomica
editIn Terminolgia Anatomica (1998) Cisterna venae magnae cerebri (aka Cisterna quadrigeminalis) and Cisterna ambiens are two separate things. Dorland defines Cisterna ambiens as the subarachnoid space surrounding the midbrain, connecting the cisterna venae magnae cerebri with the cisterna interpeduncularis. I don't know enough to remove the redirect page that redirects cisterna ambiens [hyperlinked at 'Cistern (neuroanatomy)' page, which gives a correct definition of cisterna ambiens] to this 'cistern of great cerebral vein' page, but this should be done.

Article name
editGoogle Ngram clearly shows that "quadrigeminal cistern" is the preferred and more common term compared to "superior cistern". Bibeyjj (talk) 10:22, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Terminologia Anatomica uses the term "superior cistern" although this is not a direct translation of either Latin term (which are "quadrigeminal cistern" and "cistern of great cerebral vein"). Bibeyjj (talk) 11:00, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
