The tentorial notch (also known as the tentorial incisure or incisura tentorii) refers to the anterior opening between the free edge of the cerebellar tentorium and the clivus for the passage of the brainstem.
The midbrain continues with the thalamus of the diencephalon through the tentorial notch.
