title: Pineal veins in vertebral angiography.
abstract: Angiographic patterns of pineal veins in normal and pathological conditions are examined. The diagnostic value of these veins for midline growths is limited owing to their inconstant visualization, multifarious angiographic patterns and minute size. With this in mind, greater significance of classical displacements of the internal and basal veins is outlined.
