  1. Venous murmurs proceeding from the cerebral circulation have often been observed. “They may be heard over the course of the superior longitudinal sinus, and at the maximum intensity over theTorcular Herophili” (Walsh, quoted by Aitken). Dr. Fowler (op. cit., p. 29), in support of Chauveau’s theory, that abnormal bruits in certain veins are due to the anatomical connexions of these veins preventing them accommodating themselves to the reduced diameter of their respective blood-currents, goes on to say: -“There is an interesting confirmation of the truth of this theory in the fact that a similar bruit to that audible in the innominate veins may occasionally be heard over the cerebral sinuses at the Torcular Herophili, where the same conditions as to non-contractility are present; and also in the fact which I have observed, that in anæmic subjects who suffer from deafness, not dependent upon disease of the auditory nerve, and in whom the conduction of the skull-vibrations is normal, a similar sound becomes audible on the affected side. This is, no doubt, the bruit produced in the lateral sinus conveyed to the ear through the medium of the temporal bone.”
