Abstract
The major anatomical planes (horizontal, coronal, and sagittal, includ ing the median plane) are discussed from a historical perspective, and their correct usage is clarified. Unofficial and unnecessary terms to be avoided (for reasons explained) include midsagittal, parasagittal, and midline. (C) 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
