Three complete ross drawings and two outline drawings in total.

The third and smallest ross drawing shows the cerebellum before retraction and the outline drawings of the cerebellum and of a sagittal view of the brainstem and cerebellum demonstrate the position of the tumour. Annotations on the back read "Patient's name 10.2.48".
