Trigeminal tubercle

The trigeminal tubercle or tuberculum cinereum^[1] is a raised area upon (the caudal/inferior portion of) the lateral^[2] dorsal/posterior aspect^[3]^[2] of the medulla oblongata produced by the underlying spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). It is situated just lateral to the tuberculum cuneatus (of nucleus cuneatus),^[3] between the rootlets of the accessory nerve and posterolateral sulcus.
