Abstract
Emissary veins are channels of communication between the venous sinuses of the dura mater and the veins of the diploe and scalp. The skull base is the most common site of these veins, although they can be seen elsewhere as well. One of the more common sites is through or adjacent to the occipitomastoid suture (mastoid emissary vein). Other common locations include the condyle (condylar emissary vein), occiput (occipital emissary vein), foramen of Vesalius (sphenoidal emissary vein), and the parietal skull through the parietal foramina (parietal emissary vein). These can be unilateral, bilateral, or asymmetric.
