Suggested cutoff distances for the proposed grades.

VariableSuggested cutoff values

Distance from mammillary body tip to incisura line
Distance from the diaphragm sella to the optic chiasm
Angle of the optic chiasm1.7
Height of the interpeduncular cistern at the plane of the cecum
Mammillopontine distance
Ratio of interpeduncular cistern
Distance from iter to tuberculum-venous confluence lineāˆ’1.15
Distance from splenium of the corpus callosum to the incisura line
Distance from caudal pole of tonsils to plane of the foramen magnumāˆ’0.1
Distance from obex to plane of foramen magnum

All suggested values are in mm except for those denoted by which are in degrees.
