After a short overview of the history of our knowledge of the pineal gland, its anatomy and its function, this work is primarily devoted to the relationships of the pineal gland to the nerve structures which delineate the pineal region. The complex surrounding blood vessels located in the quadrigeminal cistern are described with a special focus on the numerous venous trunks. Finally, the pineal blood supply is studied in three steps: (1) The arterial supply obtained through several groups of pineal arteries stemming mainly from the medial posterior choroidal arteries; (2) The venous drainage by the lateral pineal veins flowing, in most cases, into the cerebral vein of Galen; (3) The intrapineal vascular architecture with specific features concerning the central part of the gland highly vascularized by large sinusoid capillaries and its peripheral part poorly vascularized by small and fine blood vessels.
在对我们关于松果体的认识历史、其解剖结构和功能进行简短概述之后，这项工作主要致力于研究松果体与界定松果体区域的神经结构之间的关系。描述了位于四叠体池周围的复杂血管，特别关注众多静脉干。最后，分三个步骤研究松果体的血液供应：（1）主要通过几组主要源自脉络膜后内侧动脉的松果体动脉获得的动脉供应；（2）松果体外侧静脉的静脉引流，在大多数情况下，流入大脑大静脉；（3）松果体内的血管结构，其具有特定特征，即腺体中央部分由大的窦状毛细血管高度血管化，而其外周部分由细小血管血管化较差。
