RESUMO

The study was done through the analysis of 214 brain hemispheres of 107 human brains, with their ages ranging from 12 weeks of gestation to 8 months of postnatal life. The gestational age was calculated from their body weight. The fetuses with congenital abnormalities and or damaged brains were excluded from the study. After the brain fixation with 10% formalin, the arachnoid was removed for the study of the sulci and fissures of the brain, since their appearance until their complete development. The aim of this anatomical study was to establish a reliable sulci morphological pattern characteristic of each gestational age. Based in our findings, reference tables pertinent to the appearance of each sulci of all brain surface were built and are here presented.
