1n this sutdy, venous drainage dominancy was evaluated by bilateral carotid angiographies in 189 cases.

Cerebral venous drainage dominancy is of great importance and should be considered prior to operations of patients who will undergo radical neck dissection, removal of tumors in the neck that invade internal jugular vein and tumors of glomus jugulare which may require ligation of the internal jugular vein.
