The veins of the dentate nucleus are composed of several channels draining the external surface and one single vein draining the internal surface. We analyzed specimens of the human cerebellum and described the central vein of the nucleus dentatus as the main venous outflow of the nucleus. The central vein of the nucleus dentatus is formed by a network of smaller vessels draining the sinuosities of the gray matter; it emerges from the hilum of the nucleus and runs along the superior cerebellar peduncle, opening in the anterior vermian vein. We looked for this structure and for the surrounding veins on ultra-high-field (7 Tesla) MR, using susceptibility-weighted imaging. An anatomical and radiological description of the veins of the dentate nucleus is provided, with some remarks on the future clinical applications that these findings could provide.
齿状核的静脉由几个引流外表面的通道和一个引流内表面的单一静脉组成。我们分析了人类小脑标本，并将核中央静脉描述为核的主要静脉流出道。核中央静脉由一组较小的血管网络组成，这些血管引流灰质的脑回；它从核的门部发出，沿小脑上脚走行，在前蚓静脉处开口。我们使用磁敏感加权成像在超高场（7 特斯拉）MR 上寻找这个结构和周围的静脉。提供了齿状核静脉的解剖和放射学描述，并对这些发现可能提供的未来临床应用提出了一些看法。
