The microanatomy of the lateral sellar or parasellar venous system (so-called cavernous sinus) is poorly understood and is still passionately debated. The exact nature of this venous structure is not yet clear whether it is a plexus or a sinus. In order to understand the anatomy of this area better, an embryological and adult microanatomical study was performed. Serial histological sections of human embryos and fetuses of well determined ages (6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 30 weeks) were used. The adult study was performed with microdissections and serial histological sections of laterosellar compartments. The analysis of this material confirms that the parasellar venous system is a true sinus, on the embryological and histological point of view. They differ from true veins. As other dural sinuses, it may contain different types of channels: from simple venous canal to complex venous plexus. The opinions of different authors are reviewed in the introduction and discussed with the results.
蝶鞍外侧或鞍旁静脉系统（即所谓的海绵窦）的微观解剖结构鲜为人知，目前仍存在激烈的争论。这种静脉结构的确切性质尚不清楚，它究竟是一个静脉丛还是一个窦。为了更好地了解该区域的解剖结构，我们进行了一项胚胎学和成人微观解剖学研究。我们使用了确定年龄（6、7、8、10、11、12、14、30周）的人类胚胎和胎儿的连续组织学切片。成人研究则通过对鞍旁隔室进行显微解剖和连续组织学切片来进行。对这些材料的分析从胚胎学和组织学角度证实了鞍旁静脉系统是一个真正的窦。它们与真正的静脉不同。与其他硬脑膜窦一样，它可能包含不同类型的通道：从简单的静脉管到复杂的静脉丛。在引言部分回顾了不同作者的观点，并与研究结果进行了讨论。
