Abstract The microsurgical anatomy of the deep venous system of the brain was examined in 20 cerebral hemispheres. The deep venous system is composed of the internal cerebral, basal, and great veins and their tributaries. This system drains the deep white and gray matter surrounding the lateral and 3rd ventricles and the basal cisterns. The deep veins are divided into a ventricular group composed of the veins converging on the walls of the lateral ventricles and a cisternal group that includes the veins draining the walls of the basal cisterns. The internal cerebral vein is included in the ventricular group because it is predominantly related to the ventricles, and the basal and great veins are reviewed with the cisternal group because they course through the basal cisterns. The choroidal veins are included with the ventricle veins because they arise on the choroid plexus in the ventricles. The thalamic veins appear in both the ventricular and the cisternal groups because some course on the ventricular surfaces and others course in the basal cisterns. The operative approaches to the major trunks in this system are reviewed.

Abstract Recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage complicated a traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula in a young man. The fistula drained predominantly into the deep venous system of the brain, where the hemorrhage was thought to have occurred.

Adjacent to the arterial circle of Willis at the base of the brain, there is an anastomotic circle of veins linking the right and left halves of the cerebral deep venous system. This venous circle is formed by anterior and posterior transverse anastomotic channels (the anterior and posterior communicating veins), and paramedian longitudinal vessels (the basal veins of Rosenthal). This collateral venous network has received considerably less attention than its arterial counterpart, but is its functional homologue. Although inconstant, it can be seen readily with current neuroimaging techniques including three-dimensional digital subtraction venographic phase 3D arteriography (3D-DSV) and CT venography (CTV). The venous circle represents a route of contralateral venous drainage that may become important, particularly when segments of the basal vein are absent (with or without complex DVA), or in high flow states including arteriovenous shunts that access the deep venous system. We review the gross anatomy and provide examples of the radiologic imaging of this venous circle.

Acalvaria is a rare congenital malformation characterized by an absence of skin and skull. The authors describe a newborn at an estimated 38 weeks gestational age who was delivered via cesarean section from a 32-year-old mother. Upon delivery, the child was noted to have a frontal encephalocele and an absence of calvaria including skull and skin overlying the brain. A thin membrane representing dura mater was overlying the cortical tissue. After multiple craniofacial operations, including repair of the encephalocele and application of cultured keratinocytes over the rostral defect, the patient demonstrated significant closure of the calvarial defect and was alive at an age of more than 17 months with near-average development.
