Figure 1. — Sagittal view of CSF outflow through the cribriform plate. The arrow depicts CSF outflow path into nasal lymphatics. When CSF is drained towards the nasal, the lymphatics responsible for draining CSF surround the olfactory nerves and traverse the cribriform plate along with them. Through the connections established with nasal lymphatics and lymphatics adjacent to the cribriform plate, they can reach the nasal submucosa lining the nasal cavity. Ultimately, they are directed to cervical lymphatics via the lymphatic network.
