Abstract:
Deep medullary veins(DMVs)are critical components of the cerebral medullary venous system,responsible for venous drainage of the deep cerebral white matter.Recent research indicates that DMVs are closely related to cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)and associated cognitive disorders.The morphological structure of DMVs can be clearly visualized on susceptibility weighted imaging and quantitative susceptibility mapping,which could potentially serve as markers for assessing the severity of CSVD.This article reviewed the anatomical characteristics and physiological functions of DMVs,as well as the mechanistic correlations between DMVs and various CSVD imaging markers,aiming to provide novel theoretical insights for early diagnosis and clinical management of CSVD.
