Abstract：Objective Sylvian Veins morphology analysis contributes to cortex veins protection for clear surgical fields, a better choice for operation plan evaluation. Methods 33 cases diagnosed as epilepsy, male∶female=19∶14, mean ages 18.7y (9-52). Results 4 types of Sylvian Veins spreading were observed from the procession of functional surgery: long stem pattern 49%(16/33), short stem pattern 15%(5/33), long truncks pattern 33%(11/33), and absent stem pattern 3%(1/33). Conclusion Sylvian Veins morphology analysis shows that there exist 4 main patterns, which may contribute to functional surgery about frontal operculum, temporal operculum and insular lobe or intracranial electrode placement.
