The termination points of the lateral direct vein^a

Branching Type	LDV Termination	Total (110 LDV)
Type 2 (a suprathalamic LDV)	ICV: anterior third	8	7.27%
	ICV: middle third	70	63.64%
	ICV: middle third, as a common stem with an MAV	2	1.82%
Type 3 (a retrothalamic LDV)	ICV: posterior third	18	16.36%
	ICV: posterior third, as a common stem with an MAV	8	7.27%
	Great cerebral vein	2	1.82%

Note:—MAV indicates medial atrial vein.

^aThe presence of the LDV characterizes types 2 and 3 of the ICV branching patterns.
