was changed:
The confluence of sinuses (or , also know as torcula herophili)Herophili, is the site of confluence of:
The anatomy is highly variable and three types can be described:
- type 1 - superior sagittalsinus drains into one lateral sinus and the straight sinus into theother, with no connection between the two
- type 2 - superior sagittal sinuses and the straight sinusfork, and the forks from both sinuses join to form the lateral sinuses
- type 3 - true confluence of sinuses
