Abstract

For a long time, the cerebral venous collateral has been far less concerned than arterial counterparts. It is not until latter part of twentieth century, has adequate venous schematic description been provided. In this chapter, we compared the traditional classification the cerebral venous system, and proposed a novel cerebral venous collateral circulation system attributed to the new findings in cerebral diseases.
