As a venous sinus, the cavernous sinus receives blood from the superior and inferior ophthalmic veins and from superficial cortical veins, and is connected to the basilar plexus of veins posteriorly. The cavernous sinus drains by two larger channels, the superior and inferior petrosal sinuses , ultimately into the internal jugular vein via the ...

Direct CCF may be treated by occlusion of the affected cavernous sinus (coils, balloon, liquid agents), or by reconstruction of the damaged internal carotid artery (stent, coils or liquid agents). [citation needed] Indirect CCF may be treated by occlusion of the affected cavernous sinus with coils, liquid agents or a combination of both. [3] [4 ...

The inferior petrosal sinus is situated in the inferior petrosal sulcus, formed by the junction of the petrous part of the temporal bone with the basilar part of the occipital bone. It begins below and behind the cavernous sinus and, passing through the anterior part of the jugular foramen, ends in the superior bulb of the internal jugular vein.
The intercavernous sinuses are two in number, an anterior and a posterior, and connect the two cavernous sinuses [1] across the middle line.. Intercavernous sinuses. The anterior passes in front of the hypophysis cerebri (pituitary gland), the posterior behind it, and they form with the cavernous sinuses a venous circle (circular sinus) around the hypophysis.
Oblique section through the cavernous sinus. The cavernous segment, or C4, of the internal carotid artery begins at the petrolingual ligament and extends to the proximal dural ring, which is formed by the medial and inferior periosteum of the anterior clinoid process. The cavernous segment is surrounded by the cavernous sinus.
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. [1] It communicates with the anterior vertebral venous plexus.
