Cerebral vein
Blood vessels
The septal veins , also called the anterior septal veins and the veins of the septum pellucidum , are veins of the cerebral venous system which drain blood from the septum pellucidum of the anterior frontal lobe .[ 1] [ 2] The septal veins unify with the superior thalamostriate vein and the superior choroidal vein at the interventricular foramina to form the internal cerebral veins .[ 3]
Structure
The septal veins drain blood from the septum pellucidum bilaterally[ 2] and terminate at the venous angle formed with the thalamostriate veins.[ 4] Research by Jonathan Roth et al. , 2010, has shown that the septal veins are often asymmetrical.[ 5] The positions of the septal veins vary in relation to the interventricular foramina and the internal cerebral veins.[ 6]
Clinical significance
Deep cerebral vein thrombosis is a rare[ 7] condition characterized by the presence of a blood clot in the deep cerebral veins and can appear in the septal veins.[ 8] This condition is commonly comorbid with other thrombi in the cerebral veins.[ 9]
