The superior medullary velum (anterior medullary velum) is a thin, transparent lamina of white matter[citation needed] which - together with the inferior medullary velum - forms the roof of the fourth ventricle. It extends between the two superior cerebellar peduncles. The lingula of cerebellum covers - and adheres to - its dorsal surface.[1]
