The falx cerebri (also known as the cerebral falx) is a large, crescent-shaped fold of dura mater that descends vertically into the longitudinal fissure to separate the cerebral hemispheres.[1] It supports the dural sinuses that provide venous and CSF drainage from the brain.[2] It is attached to the crista galli anteriorly, and blends with the tentorium cerebelli posteriorly.[3]
The falx cerebri is often subject to age-related calcification, and a site of falcine meningiomas.[2]
The falx cerebri is named for its sickle-like shape.[4]
