ba·sal vein

[TA]

a large vein originating from the confluence of veins from the orbital cortex (anterior cerebral veins [TA]) and the area of the insular cortex [deep middle cerebral vein [TA] (vena media profunda cerebri [TA]), insular veins [TA] (venae insulares [TA])], and passing caudally and dorsally along the medial surface of the temporal lobe, eventually emptying into the great cerebral vein. The basal vein receives tributaries from structures along its course; these include vein of olfactory gyrus [TA] (vena gyri olfactori [TA]), inferior thalamostriate veins [TA] (venae thalamostriatae inferiores [TA]), inferior ventricular vein [TA] (vena ventricularis inferior [TA]), inferior choroid vein [TA] (vena choroidea inferior [TA]), and peduncular veins [TA] (venae pedunculares [TA]).
See also: common basal vein, inferior basal vein, superior basal vein.

Synonym(s): vena basalis [TA], basal vein of Rosenthal, Rosenthal vein

Stripe-shaped hyperintensity on MR T1-weighted imaging is a sign of cerebral cortical venous thrombosis.[3] In this case, the high punctiform signal in the left ambient cisterna on MR T1-weighted imaging indicated a diagnosis of venous thrombosis, which was further supported by the absence of the left basal vein in magnetic resonance venography and a good response to anticoagulant therapy.
