Anatomical terminology

The venous plexus of hypoglossal canal (TA)[Note 1] – also known as plexus venosus canalis nervi hypoglossi (TA), circellus venosus hypoglossi and rete canalis hypoglossi[2] – is a small venous plexus around the hypoglossal nerve that connects with the occipital sinus, the inferior petrosal sinus and the internal jugular vein.[2] Occasionally, it may be a single vein rather than a venous plexus.[3]
