Venous Plexus Suboccipital

The venous plexus of the occipital region (suboccipital) is a venous formation that is located in the occipital part of the head and is responsible for the outflow of venous blood from this area. It consists of many small veins that connect with each other and form a single channel for the outflow of blood.

The venous occipital plexus plays an important role in the circulation of the head and neck. It helps maintain normal pressure in the head and neck, and also prevents congestion in this area. In addition, it is involved in the metabolism between blood and tissues of the occipital region.

With pathology of the venous occipital plexus, various diseases can occur, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, loss of consciousness and other symptoms. Therefore, it is very important to monitor the condition of this venous plexus and, if necessary, carry out treatment.



The venous plexus of the back of the head refers to the structural formations that provide normal blood flow to the back surface of the human head. It consists of many small veins and arteries connected together to form a single structural unit.

The plexus of occipital veins plays an important role in ensuring adequate nutrition of the brain, as they actively participate in the blood flow from the brain. These veins are very sensitive and can be easily damaged by a blow or compression to the back of the head. Their proper functioning is also linked to the functioning of many other vital systems: muscular, digestive, nervous, respiratory and even cardiovascular.

Pinching or compression of the occipital veins leads to stagnation of blood in the veins, which can lead to many unpleasant consequences, such as headaches, memory loss, decreased concentration, etc. In this case, urgent therapy consists of restoring blood flow and normalizing blood levels.
