BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The termination of the superficial middle cerebral vein is
classically assimilated to the sphenoid portion of the sphenoparietal sinus. This notion has …

The termination of the superficial middle cerebral vein (SMCV) has been described as
entering or being partially equivalent to the venous sinus coursing under the lesser …

OBJECTIVE: There is minimal detailed information regarding the sphenoparietal venous
sinus found in the extant medical literature. Furthermore, there is controversy in the literature …

A study of the termination of the superficial middle cerebral vein in 140 human specimens
revealed that in 80 cranial cavities (51.1%) the vein drained into both the sphenoparietal …

The present study reviews the recorded descriptions of the interior of the superior sagittal
sinus made by earlier investigators and adds observations made during anatomical …

1. The posterior fossa venous system can be divided into superior (or Galenic), anterior (or
petrosal), and posterior (or tentorial) groups. The second or petrosal group of veins is the …

Anatomical variations of the posterosuperior dural venous sinuses and, in particular, the
absence or hypoplasia of one of them has been described in several studies. However, no …

The basilar venous plexus is the anteromedian venous channel of the posterior cranial fossa
that has many conflicting and brief descriptions in the extant literature. To our knowledge, no …

Object The cerebral venous regulation involved in various physiological and pathological
processes has received little attention. Here the authors describe the anatomy of the junction …

Object The superior and inferior sagittal sinuses have been well studied. Interestingly, other
