From: An anatomy-based lumped parameter model of cerebrospinal venous circulation: can an extracranial anatomical change impact intracranial hemodynamics?

Fig. 7

Flow directions computed by the model for the cerebral area with severe IJVs diameter reductions. The CS, IPS and SPS flows are inverted (orange arrows) compared to their physiologic direction shown in Fig. 2. In physiologic conditions, these intracranial veins drain into the IJVs (Fig. 2). With severe IJVs stenoses, their flow is reduced or blocked; an alternative drainage pathway for the CS, IPS and SPS blood flow is highlighted with dotted arrows
