“…Key topics related to the venous disposition of the cavernous sinus are its bidirectional linkage between intracranial and extracranial venous systems, and the compartmentalized confluence of cerebral venous drainage into the cavernous sinus (figure 11). 38–40 The frequently present laterocavernous sinus—a separate compartment lateral to the outer wall of the cavernous sinus, often receives drainage from the sphenoparietal sinus or directly from superficial middle cerebral veins 38. It may remain functional despite congestion or occlusion of the cavernous sinus proper by dural arteriovenous fistulas, carotid cavernous fistulas, or masses (figure 11D–F).…”

Meaningful contributions to neurointerventional practice may be possible by considering the dynamic aspects of angiography in addition to fixed morphologic information. The functional approach to venous anatomy requires integration of the traditional static anatomic features of the system—deep, superficial, posterior fossa, medullary veins, venous sinuses, and outflow routes into an overall appreciation of how a classic model of drainage is altered, embryologically, or pathologically, depending on patterns of flow—visualization made possible by angiography. In this review, emphasis is placed on balance between alternative venous networks and their redundancy, and the problems which arise when these systems are lacking. The role of veins in major neurovascular diseases, such as dural arteriovenous fistulae, arteriovenous malformations, pulsatile tinnitus, and intracranial hypertension, is highlighted, and deficiencies in knowledge emphasized.
