Where is the suboccipital venous plexus located?
The suboccipital venous plexus is located at the back of the skull base, in the suboccipital triangle between the occipital bone and the first and second cervical vertebrae, deep to the suboccipital muscles.
What is the function of the suboccipital venous plexus?
The suboccipital venous plexus is involved in collecting venous blood from the suboccipital muscles and adjacent structures, providing connections between the intracranial venous sinuses, vertebral venous plexus, and deep cervical veins.
What conditions may be associated with the suboccipital venous plexus?
Cervical myelopathy, dural arteriovenous fistulas, venous congestion from intracranial hypertension, or surgical complications at the craniocervical junction may be associated with the suboccipital venous plexus.
How is the suboccipital venous plexus examined?
