dominance in 25% of cases. Bilaterally symmetric TSs are observed in the remaining 25% of cases.
Position and vessel identi cation: The TS, CoS, and distal part of the SSS can be visualized through the transtemporal bone window in a modifi ed thalamic, midbrain, or upper pontine axial plane (Fig. A2.142; Video
A2.42). Best results are achieved for the TS if the contralateral side is insonated. At fi rst, the insonation depth has to be increased up to 14 cm to visualize the contralateral skull and the hyperechoic internal occipital protuberance. Then, a small color window with low or maximally reduced PRF is placed above the presumed CoS. Standard TCCS examination of the TS refers to the contralateral side which is identifi ed with a signal away from the probe close to the skull. In general its most proximal part is detected but the TS may be followed over a distance of ~2 cm including the middle and distal segments. The ipsilateral TS with a signal toward the probe is considered to be more diffi cult to detect. Extracranial compression of the IJV leads to an immediate reduction or even cessation of fl ow in the ipsilateral TS and an increased ow in the contralateral TS if a patent CoS is present (Fig. A2.147; Video
A2.43). Reported detection rates vary between 30% and 60%. To avoid direct insonation of the CoS infl ow region we recommend placing the Doppler sample outside the midline. To identify the SSS, the transducer direction, starting from the CoS or TS, is slightly tilted superior. A signal adjacent to the calvarium, with fl ow direction toward the probe, is considered to be the distal SSS (Fig. A2.148; Video
A2.44). The reported insonation rate is ~50%, but rates of more than 90% have been published considering the detection of the ipsilateral TS with the aid of ultrasound and MR fusion imaging (Zedde et al 2012). A missing TS fl ow signal may be caused by inadequate insonation condition or hypoplasia. The latter can be considered if a prominent fl ow is seen in the contralateral TS, provided that insonation conditions are good. Transient manual occlusion of the dominant IJV may lead to a visible ow in the hypoplastic TS, thereby excluding TS occlusion.

Sphenoparietal Sinus (SpPS)
Anatomic details: The SpPS can be divided into two parts.
Its fi rst part runs parallel to the MMA along the fronto- temporal surface of the brain. Then the vessel turns and runs without an accompanying artery along the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone toward the anterior segment of the CS. In up to 60% of cases it collects the blood from the sylvian veins, and therefore from a considerable part of the MCA territory.
Position and vessel identi cation: The SpPS can be in- sonated through the transtemporal bone window using the upper pontine axial insonation plane (Fig. A2.149). We recommend starting to ident ify the hyperechoic lesser wing of the sphenoid bone in the conventional B-mode. Then a small color window with a low PRF set­ting is placed over this region. The SpPS, or alternatively a strong sylvian vein, can then be identifi ed as a venous signal along the sphenoid bone, aiming toward the ca­rotid siphon (Fig. A2.150; Video directed away from the transducer. Sometimes the dis­tal part of the SpPS is detected in the midbrain plane. It can then be seen anteriorly of the MCA. The SpPS should not be confused with the DMCV: the SpPS runs anteri­orly of the MCA while the DMCV has a course dorsal to the MCA (Fig. A2.151). A frequent fi nding is that the fl ow velocity increases the closer the vessel gets to the CS. There venous fl ow velocities may reach up to 80 cm/s, even in completely healthy individuals.

the superior orbital fossa to the top of the petrosal pyr­amid. It receives blood from the orbit via the superior orbital veins, from the insular and opercular region as well as the temporal lobes via sylvian veins and SpPS. Its main drainage follows the IPS into the superior jugu­lar bulb and via the basal emissaries (foramina lacerum, rotundum, ovale, and spinosum) toward the pterygoid plexus. However, it is also connected with the proximal SiS via the SPS.

Cavernous Sinus (CS)
Anatomic details: The paired CS is a complex venous
structure responsible for collection and distribution of a considerable amount of cerebral blood. It has a length of ~2 cm in the anteroposterior direction, extending from
Position and vessel identi cation: Due to its com- plex anatomy, the infl ow and outfl ow region of the CS is a critical point of analysis. A direct identifi cation of the CS using transcranial ultrasound is currently not possible. Venous signals that are depicted with­in the region of the CS are most probably feeding or draining vessel segments. Turbulent signals and high ow velocities can frequently be seen and should not be confounded with real stenoses or increased fl ow caused by collateral venous function in a presumed veno-occlusive disorder.
Normal values: No normal values have been reported.
Superior Petrosal Sinus (SPS)
Anatomic details: The SPS is in most cases a drainage
pathway for the CS toward the IJV via the SiS, running along the petrous bone in a direction from medial to lateral. However, depending on need, the fl ow direction might also be toward the CS.
Position and vessel identi cation: The SPS can be visu- alized through the transtemporal bone window between the axial upper and lower pontine planes (Fig. A2.149). If detectable, it is often found as a prominent vessel in the

Normal values: No normal values have been reported.
Inferior Petrosal Sinus (IPS)
Anatomic details: The IPS is an important venous ves-
sel receiving blood from the posterior aspect of the CS. It runs along the petroclival border to the ipsilateral IJV in most cases, or connects to the VVS. Its superior part is cone-shaped with a prominent width of 6–16 mm. Dis­tally, the IPS has a more tubular appearance with a width of 2–7 mm. Right and left asymmetry is frequent, with a right-sided dominance in 75% of cases (Gebarski and Ge­barski 1995).
Position and vessel identi cation: Systematic evaluations have so far only been reported from TCD. Transforaminal insonation yields a venous signal toward the probe at an insonation depth of ~80–90 mm, often simultaneously accompanied by the BA signal. The vessel can also be vis­ualized with TCCS through the upper and lower transfo­raminal insonation plane using the same identifi cation criteria (Video ed as artifi cial compression of the IJV may lead to under- estimation or overestimation of velocities (Fig. A2.153). Reported TCD detection rates of at least one IPS reach 96% (Doepp et al 1999).

Extracranial Veins
Internal Jugular Vein
Anatomic details: The IJV receives its blood from
the superior jugular bulb, which collects blood from the SSS and StS via the TS and SiS and also from the CS via the IPS. A right-sided dominance of the IJV di­ameter and blood fl ow in up to 80% of the population was found in anatomic (Saiki et al 2013), angiographic (Durgun et al 1993), and ultrasound studies (Doepp et al 1998). The side of IJV dominance correlates strong­ly with a preferred drainage of the SSS into a likewise dominant TS (Saiki et al 2013). Below the superior jug­ular bulb the IJV runs initially behind and lateral to the ICA but then circumscribes the ICA from lateral to fi nal- ly lie ventrolateral to the CCA in most subjects. Howev­er, in a minority of cases, a position ventral, medial, or ventromedial to the CCA may be observed (Troianos et al 2011) (Fig. A2.154). During its course the IJV collects blood from other veins. The main tributaries are the facial vein, the lingual vein, and the retromandibular vein, normally draining together as the thyrolinguofa­cial trunk into the IJV at the level of the carotid bifurca­tion (Shima et al 1998). Further caudal tributaries are the superior and medial thyroidal veins, and occasion­ally the occipital vein (Hacker 1974). Before merging with the subclavian vein to form the brachiocephalic vein it dilates to form the inferior jugular bulb where the commonly paired jugular valves are located. The IJV can be divided into three segments: a proximal (cau­dal) segment containing the inferior jugular bulb with the bicuspid valves (IJV 1), a middle segment including the thyrolinguofacial trunk additionally collecting blood from extracranial head and neck structures (IJV 2), and a distal (cranial) segment from the skull base to the junction with the thyrolinguofacial trunk collecting mainly intracranial blood (IJV 3) (Fig. A2.131). The IJV

may, however, also be divided diff erently (Malferrari et al 2014).
Despite of their prominent appearance, the IJVs are not the main drainage pathway of the intracranial blood in all subjects. In the supine body position, the cerebral blood drains mainly via the IJV (defi ned as a drainage of more than two-thirds of the cerebral blood fl ow via the IJV = “jugular drainer”) in ~70% of the general population (Fig. A2.155). The remaining 30% show a nonjugular type or blood draining, predominantly via VVs and deep neck veins (“neck drainer”) or via the intraspinal venous sys­tem (“spinal drainer”) (Fig. A2.156) (Doepp et al 2004). Duplex ultrasound also facilitates central cannulation via IJV puncture (see also Chapter 5, “Central Venous Cannu­lation” under “Ultrasonography of the Internal Jugular Vein in Intensive Care Patients”).
Position and vessel identi cation: The IJV is insonat- ed like the CCA, ICA, and ECA in cross-sectional and longitudinal insonation planes (Fig. A2.157, top). The Doppler spectrum should be assessed only in the lon­gitudinal plane using angle correction. Velocity var­iations along the visible vessel course may be caused by variations of the cross-sectional area (CSA). Longi­tudinal and transversal B-mode insonation of the cau­dal segment permits the visualization of the inferior jugular bulb and the jugular valves (Lepori et al 1999) (Fig. A2.157, bottom; Video
A2.48). Further cranial, approximately at the level of the carotid bifurcation, the merging thyrolinguofacial trunk can be identifi ed (C.P. Chung et al 2007) (Fig. A2.158; Video
A2.49). In contrast to arterial ultrasound, the patient has to be in­sonated in a head-straight and strictly supine position
to get reliable and reproducible results. Even a slight turning of the head may lead to one-sided IJV compres­sion with subsequent contralateral IJV or ipsilateral VV ow velocity increases. Elevation of the body leads to a redistribution of cerebral venous outfl ow toward the VVS (Valdueza et al 2000). Head-down tilting leads to an increased diameter of the IJV (Schreiber et al 2002) which is commonly used to improve catheterization conditions for central intravenous lines. Finally, inson­ation must be done under normal breathing conditions as huge variations in diameter and fl ow velocity may be induced by forced breathing. However, sometimes changes can even be seen during normal inspiration and expiration. Flow assessment should then be done during a short apnea. Increase in intrathoracic pres­sure, e.g., by a Valsalva maneuver, leads to a raised IJV diameter and cessation of jugular fl ow, which may also be used in cooperative patients to facilitate placement of a central vein catheter. In up to 30% of the general population a retrograde jugular fl ow is observed during a Valsalva maneuver, which is caused by an IJV valve incompetence (Nedelmann et al 2005b; Doepp et al 2008a) (Fig. A2.159; see also Video
A2.50). There are
diff erent ways to prove IJV valve patency by ultrasound (Nedelmann et al 2007). We recommend insonating the IJV in its middle segment (IJV 2) for assessment of jug­ular valve competence and in its cranial segment (IJV 3) for the assessment of the drainage of intracranial blood. Compression of a nonhypoplastic IJV with normal fl ow will usually lead to a contralateral IJV increase, provid­ed that both TSs are patent and they are connected via the CoS. In the normal population this occurs in up to 63% during right IJV compression and in up to 48% dur­ing left IJV compression (Doepp et al 1998). The achiev­able increase of fl ow velocity is between 15% and 80%.
Assessment of venous blood volume fl ow (BVF) (for further reading, see also Chapter 3, “Cerebral Blood Flow Volume” under “Parameters of Cerebral Hemody­namics”) should also be performed in a strictly supine position, preferably in the cranial segment to measure almost exclusively intracranial BVF. First, the CSA of the IJV is manually encircled in the horizontal plane using B-mode imaging, avoiding any compression of the vessel by the probe. Second, the time averaged and angle-cor­rected blood fl ow velocities over at least 5 seconds are assessed in the corresponding longitudinal plane. For correct measurements the sample volume should en­close the whole vessel diameter. In cases of marked respiratory variations of the CSA or fl ow velocities the measurements can be performed during brief apnea af­ter normal exhalation. For BVF calculation the measured CSA and fl ow velocities are automatically multiplied by the duplex machine.
Normal values: Waveforms can vary considerably. Also, absent fl ow may be observed even in a wide-open IJV (Doepp et al 2004, Valdueza et al 2000). Biphasic profi les are more frequent (57%) than monophasic fl ow patterns (Pucheu et al 1994). Prominent fl ow modulations by normal inspiration and expiration can be observed espe­cially in elderly people. For fl ow velocities see Table A2.4.

Vertebral Vein
Anatomic details: The VVs are one of four longitudi-
nal channel systems of the VVS draining the cerebral blood. Corresponding to the VA the VV can be divided into three segments: VV 1 (caudal), VV 2 (transforami­nal), and VV 3 (suboccipital) (Fig. A2.131). Similar to the IJV anatomy, bicuspid valves are present in the caudal VV (Chou et al 2002). In contrast to the IJVs, the VVs do not collapse when body position changes from supine to upright, because of their intraforaminal course. In­stead, the vessel diameter slightly increases while fl ow increases markedly. In parallel, there is a profound fl ow reduction in the IJVs (Fig. A2.160 and Fig. A2.161), but the VVs compensate for only ~25% of the reduction in jugular drainage (Valdueza et al 2000). Alternate path­ways like the intraspinal compartment of the VVS are therefore assumed to be activated.
Position and vessel identi cation: For VV insonation we recommend fi rst visualizing the V2 segment of the VA. Care must be taken to adjust the ultrasound system for low fl ow velocities (low PRF). Also, concomitant IJV c o m p r e s s i o n , w h i c h u s u a l l y l e a d s t o a p r o m p t i n c r e a s e o f ow velocity, has to be avoided (see also Video If the artery is identifi ed, the VV 2 is usually seen in the midcervical region generally as a singular vessel accom­panying the VA ventrally or as two vessels which run par­allel to the VA on either side. The fl ow direction is inverse to the VA toward the heart.
Proximal to its intraforaminal course (caudal of the C6 segment) the VV can be followed further into the VV 1 segment within the VA vicinity where it becomes larger. According to our experience, the blood fl ow ve- locity in this region is often signifi cantly higher than in the cranial segments, probably due to the infl ow

Note the small diameter.

of intersegmental radicular veins of the intraspinal VVS. The VV normally drains into the brachiocephal­ic vein but may also merge into the IJV (Fig. A2.162, Fig. A2.163, Fig. A2.164). Reference data for VV fl ow is available from one publication only (Hoff mann et al
1999). VV 2 detection rates in the supine body position of a normal population are bilaterally 62% and unilater­ally 17%. Only 21% of cases do not show any VV signal. Detection rates decrease with increasing age and sig­nifi cantly increase in an upright body position (Doepp et al 2010, Valdueza et al 2000). Bilateral compression of the IJV leads in many cases to a VV fl ow increase of

more than 100%, which underlines its importance as collateral pathway in IJV obstruction (Schreiber et al 2003d).
BVF can be best assessed between intertransversal segments C4/C5 or C5/C6, i.e., within the VV 2 segment (Doepp et al 2004). The CSA can only be estimated from a diameter measurement in the longitudinal plane, assum­ing a cylindrical vessel shape (Fig. A2.161, right). BVF cal­culation from Doppler spectra and CSA is then performed in the same manner as described for the IJV.
