Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy[edit on Wikidata]

The transverse occipital sulcus is a sulcus in the occipital lobe.

The transverse occipital sulcus is continuous with the posterior end of the occipital ramus of the intraparietal sulcus, and runs across the upper part of the lobe, a short distance behind the parietooccipital fissure.
