Laterocaudal thalamic vein

The paired (right and left) laterocaudal thalamic veins (venae latero-caudales thalami dextra et sinistra) originate each from the lateral caudal part of the corresponding half of the thalamus. Benno Shlesinger in 1976 classified these veins as belonging to the lateral group of thalamic veins (venae laterales thalami).
