o The deep cerebral veins: the internal cerebral veins that run in the roof of the third ventricle and join to form the vein of Galen. This short vein lies in the quadrigeminal cistern. The vein of Galen joins the inferior sagittal sinus to become the straight sinus.

In utero diagnosis and evaluation is very important and should nowadays include MRI imaging and to search for pseudo-feeders. The latter has been proven to be an important tool also after birth, not only in evaluating the brain parenchyma and ventricles and guiding therapeutics and timing of interventions but also in further elucidating angioarchitecture. Recent data have shown that the internal cerebral veins may communicate with the venous sac in some cases of VOGM [52]. In such cases occlusion of the VOGM venous sac can obstruct ICV drainage, unless there is a concurrent alternate drainage pathway. The detailed analysis of the angioarchitecture, using MRI protocols that include SWI sequences and 3DTOF, as well as CM or ASL MRA-MRV, may reduce procedure-related morbidity and mortality and enhance treatment planning, by providing further angioarchitectural data.
