The primary role of the falx cerebri is to act as a structural partition. By dividing the cranial cavity, it limits the lateral movement of the brain during sudden head rotations or impacts, protecting the delicate neural tissue from shifting excessively. [S2E6] Falx Cerebri
Located along the free inferior margin, it eventually joins the great cerebral vein to form the straight sinus. Clinical Significance Beyond structural support, the falx cerebri is essential
