Venous gliography is a novel approach to view veins based on venous dilatation induced by gliomas.
3D reconstruction techniques provide better visualization of otherwise unseen thalamic veins.
Thalamus is an important interface between two embryologically separate deep veins.
There are two groups of thalamic veins which exhibit distinct patterns and have intrathalamic connections.
Venous gliography and reconstructions techniques can be used to layout venous architecture of other areas of the brain.
