dominance in 25% of cases. Bilaterally symmetric TSs are
observed in the remaining 25% of cases.
Position and vessel identifi 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
fl 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
fl ow in the hypoplastic TS, thereby excluding TS occlusion.
Normal values: For fl ow velocities see Table A2.4.

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 identifi 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 underlying

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 identifi 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
fl 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 identifi 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

or away from the transducer—but is usually away from
the probe. Insonation rates have not been reported.
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 identifi 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

estimation or overestimation of velocities (Fig. A2.153).

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 identifi 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
fl 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 identifi 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

fl 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
A2.51).

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

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.
