The facial colliculus is an elevated area located in the pontine tegmentum (dorsal pons),[citation needed] within the floor of the fourth ventricle (i.e. the rhomboid fossa). It is formed by fibres from the facial motor nucleus looping over the abducens nucleus. The facial colliculus is an essential landmark of the rhomboid fossa.[1]
