[Alternative ways of collateral venous flow in occlusion of superior sagittal sinus]
Abstract:
The authors demonstrated alternative ways of bloodflow from occluded superior sagittal sinus through hypertrophic dural veins (middle meningeal veins) and sphenoparietal sinus. Parameters of bloodflow were evaluated using triplex ultrasonography. The possibility of venous drainage into anterior segment of superior sagittal sinus proximal to the site of occlusion with further retrograde flow towards dural venous anastomosis is verified. Possibilities of spiral CT-venography and standard time-of-flight MR-venography for assessment of collateral venous flow were estimated.

On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...
Overview of Systemic Veins
The coronary sinus, the heart's principal vein, resides in the coronary sulcus on the heart's posterior aspect. This broad venous channel receives nearly all venous blood from the myocardium, the heart muscle. It is fed by three primary veins: the great cardiac vein, the middle...

Coronary Circulation
Coronary circulation begins at the base of the aorta, where two main arteries arise—the left and right coronary arteries. These arteries encircle the heart in the coronary sulcus and supply the...
