The cerebral venous system develops through a series of complex stages, some that remain
incompletely understood. 2 In the early embryo (5–8 mm), a continuous primitive venous …

The intracranial venous system drains the cerebrum, brainstem, eyes, meninges, and part of
the face. In addition, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is reabsorbed in part by the …

In this issue of AJNR, Wilms et al (1) add to the ongoing debate whether the venous
angioma, more recently called developmental venous anomaly (2), can be symptomatic …

The embryonic tentorial sinus usually regressses during postnatal development, but its
typical prenatal drainage patterns and intradural anastomoses can be depicted as various …

The fetal and postnatal development patterns of dural venous sinuses are not fully
understood. In their article, published in the American Journal of Neuroradiology in October …

Figure 1: Clinical MRI scans were obtained in a 44-year-old woman who presented with a
headache and tinnitus for clinically suspected intracranial hypertension.(A) Photorealistic …

As described by PAGET 6, the basal cerebral vein of ROSENTHAL 7 is formed by secondary
longitudinal anastomoses of the primarily transversely running veins—deep telencephalic …

The embryonic tentorial sinus regresses at the 60–80 mm embryologic stage and most of the
deep venous channels constitute the basal vein of Rosenthal (BVR). Persisting remnants of …

The superficial middle cerebral vein (SMCV) commonly drains in the cavernous sinus. Its
different drainage variants include preserved segments of the primitive tentorial sinus. In any …

The intention of this chapter is to separate the dural venous sinuses from the deep and
superficial cerebral veins, but this distinction can be difficult in some instances because of …
