| Abstract |
We measured the calibers of the left and right internal jugular veins (IJV) and sizes of the left and right transverse sinuses (TS) in 91 cadavers, compared them between the left and right sides, and also evaluated the drainage patterns of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) and straight sinus (=rectal sinus, RS) in the torcular Herophili. In addition, the running type of groove for the SSS was investigated. The results were as follows: (1) The right IJV was larger in 81.3 %, while the left IJV was larger in only 11.0 %. (2) The drainage pattern of the SSS was the right type in 73.6 %, intermediate type in 14.3 %, and left type in 12.1 %. (3) The drainage pattern of the RS was the right type in 27.5 %, intermediate type in 25.3 %, and left type in 47.3 %. (4) The running type of groove for the SSS was mostly consistent with the drainage pattern of this sinus. (5) Concerning the relationships among these findings including the size of the TS, the drainage pattern of the SSS was mostly consistent with the side showing a larger TS as well as the side showing a larger IJV. These results suggest that the pattern of drainage of the SSS into the left and right TS affects the size of the TS and the running type of groove for the SSS, and is also closely involved in the caliber of the IJV. A discussion of the embryological, genetic, and clinical implications of these results is presented. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 May 2013.
All research outputs
#19,260,903
of 24,527,525 outputs
Outputs from Anatomical Science International
#190
of 267 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#148,961
of 203,326 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Anatomical Science International
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,527,525 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 267 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 203,326 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
