The authors report a case of tentorial sinus draining the telencephalic and diencephalic tributaries of the basal vein. Dorsally the sinus joined the straight sinus and later the confluence of the sinuses. Attention should be paid to this normal variation whenever a transtentorial surgical approach is considered.

Objective: The inferior hypophyseal arteries (IHAs) are intimately related to pituitary and cavernous sinus (CS) lesions. There is still no anatomical study specifically analyzing the IHAs. The aim of this study was to investigate the surgical anatomy and variations of the IHA, and to translate this knowledge into surgical practice.

Objective: Venous structures of the transverse-sigmoid sinus region have been insufficiently studied by magnetic resonance venography, especially in the healthy Han Chinese population.
Methods: Magnetic resonance venography data were reconstructed. The relevant parameters were recorded.

Background And Objectives: First-line therapy for most intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) is endovascular embolization, but some require microsurgical ligation due to limited endovascular accessibility, anticipated lower cure rates, or unacceptable risk profiles. We investigated the most common surgically treated dAVF locations and the approaches and outcomes of each.
Methods: The Consortium for Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Outcomes Research database was retrospectively reviewed.

Background: Tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are categorized based on venous drainage and location. Although their angioarchitecture may initially appear intimidating, once "decodified," treatment is straightforward. Posteromedial tentorial dAVFs have an arterialized draining vein that emanates from the inferior tentorium along the posterior third of the straight sinus, just slightly off the midline.
