The venous vascularization of the corpus callosum in man.
The vascularization of the corpus callosum in Man is studied in 20 brains. Their vascular system is injected with Indian ink and gelatin. The corpus callosum is drained by callosal veins and callosocingulate veins towards the deep venous system of the brain. Most of these veins run downwards and join together at the central level of the corpus callosum. They then form the subependymal veins, which form the septal veins and the medial atrial vein. All these vessels are tributaries of the internal cerebral veins.
