The parasellar region from the transcranial approach. The interclinoidal ligament is medial to the oculomotor nerve and forms the medial margin of the oculomotor triangle.

The cranial nerves III, IV, V1, and VI (not shown here) continue anteriorly into the superior orbital fissure. (Image courtesy of JC Fernandez-Miranda)
