INTRODUCTION: The inferior petrosal sinus is an important component of the cerebral venous system with implications in diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases such as Cushing's disease, carotid cavernous, and dural arteriovenous fistulas. METHODS: This manuscript will review the anatomy, embryology, and clinical implications of the inferior petrosal sinus. CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of the inferior petrosal sinus is of great importance for open surgical approaches to the skull base and endovascular access to the cavernous sinus and sellar region.
