A member asked:
Explain my anomaly: sup. sag. sinus extending into posterior fossa in the midline w/bifurcation into two veins draining into jugular bulbs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not an issue: You just possess a variation of some of the venous drainage in the brain, and has no pathological significance. Has nothing to do with your headaches or dizziness. Ask you doctor why you possess these issues, and what treatment might help. Maybe see a neurologist.
