Abstract
Trigonum olfactorium is located in Cisterna valleculae (carotid cistern). Tractus olfactorius is enclosed by Yaşargils olfactory cistern. This cistern is the extension of Cisterna valleculae to the proximal segment of Sulcus rectus. Before Tractus olfactorius is reaching the anterior end of Sulcus rectus, it penetrates the outer Arachnoidea. At this point there is no continuation of the cistern along the subdural space in contrast to other cranial nerves. These cranial nerves are lacking a subdural segment.
