NeuroLex ID Preoccipital notch FMA 83739 | TA A14.1.09.109 | |

Latin Incisura praeoccipitalis | ||
About 5 cm. in front of the occipital pole on the infero-lateral border is an indentation or notch, named the preoccipital notch. It is considered a landmark because the occipital lobe is located just behind the line that connects that notch with the parietoccipital sulcus.
