Neuroradiology. 1980 Aug;20(1):23-7. doi: 10.1007/BF00346857.

Abstract

A total of 192 retrograde jugular venographies were performed in 163 cases. The lateral and occipital sinus variations in the confluent sinuum were classified in five groups by Kalbag [21]. Additional variations of the lateral and occipital sinuses in the confluent sinuum were discovered in this study.
