Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to perform a detailed anatomical analysis of petroclival venous structures as well as their patencies with 3D contrast-enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance venography (MRV) and to identify the potential contribution of these data to the therapeutic approach.
