The basilar venous plexus (transverse or basilar sinus) is a venous plexus of dural venous sinuses situated upon the clivus and posterior aspect of the dorsum sellae of sphenoid bone. It interconnects the two cavernous sinuses as well as the origins of the petrous sinuses.

Mar 17, 2021 · The basilar venous plexus lies between the endosteal and meningeal layers of the dura on the inner surface of the clivus and connects numerous regional venous structures: superiorly cavernous sinuses (superolaterally)

The basilar plexus (plexus basilaris) consists of several interlacing venous channels between the layers of the dura mater over the basilar part of the occipital bone, and serves to connect the two inferior petrosal sinuses. It communicates with the anterior vertebral venous plexus.

Oct 1, 2024 · The basilar venous plexus is located on the internal surface of the skull floor, posterior to the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone. It interconnects the inferior petrosal sinuses and also communicates inferiorly with the vertebral venous plexus.

Jan 1, 2020 · Herein, we review the basilar plexus at the skull base. This intradural venous sinus that travels along the dorsal surface of the clivuscan be involved in basilar skull fractures, surgical approaches to the clivus, and dural arteriovenous fistulas. In this chapter, the detailed anatomy of this structure is reviewed.

The basilar venous plexus is a plexiform venous channel that lies at the clivus. This venous channel interconnects the bilateral inferior petrosal sinus, the CS, and the marginal sinus at the internal surface of the clivus.

Discover the origin, course, and tributaries of the Basilar Venous Plexus, and its connection with surrounding venous channels.

Dec 12, 2023 · The basilar venous plexus (Figs. 1, ,2) 2) is a variable structure originating between the meningeal and endosteal layers of the dura overlying the dorsal surface of the clivus. It has been referred to as the plexus basilaris of Virchow, the posterior clinoid sinus, the anterior occipital sinus, and the sinus of Littré, among other names [ 1 ...

The basilar plexus is a highly variable posterior fossa venous structure. Clinicians and radiologists should take into account this variability when managing cerebral venous disorders or interpreting imaging studies of the skull base.

Jan 1, 2020 · Herein, we review the basilar plexus at the skull base. This intradural venous sinus that travels along the dorsal surface of the clivuscan be involved in basilar skull fractures, surgical approaches to the clivus, and dural arteriovenous fistulas.
