“…Batson's plexus is an extensive inter connected plexus of veins that surrounds the spine and is distributed along the entire length of the spine, from the sacrum to the neck, communicating freely with the pelvic and prostatic venous plexuses caudally and with the cerebral venous system via extensive interconnections at the base of the cranium [23,[40][41][42]. Among the unique features of Batson's plexus is the fact that it lacks venous valves, so flow within this system is bidirectional [23,[40][41][42]87,88]. The functional and anatomic continuity of the vertebral venous system with the cerebral venous system led this author to select the name 'cerebrospinal venous system' to designate the combination of the cerebral venous system with the vertebral venous plexus [40].…”

“…The accuracy of Breschet’s pioneering descriptions has been confirmed by a multitude of subsequent anatomic and clinical studies [ 1 , 17 , 19 23 , 25 , 27 , 28 , 30 , 31 , 47 , 48 ] (review [ 17 ]). The First Edition of Gray’s Anatomy (1858) states: “The veins of the spine are described and illustrated from the well-known work of Breschet (Gray 1858, Preface [ 39 ])… .…”

“…Batson’s finding that dye injected into a peripheral catchment area of Batson’s plexus could reach the cerebral veins is supported by clinical and pathological findings [ 19 , 31 , 52 , 67 , 68 ], including observations of bilateral blurred vision occurring within 1 min of injection of a 3 mL test dose of lidocaine meant for epidural analgesia [ 31 ] 6 : “We believe her blurred vision was a result of direct test dose intracranial venous system dissemination via Batson’s vertebral venous plexus … . Batson’s vertebral venous plexus … communicates directly with … the intracranial venous system.” Vallejo et al [ 31 ]. …”
