This confluence is classically located near the marginal sulcus but can occur anteriorly, increasing venous infarction risk. We aimed to characterize VoT displacement relative to the marginal sulcus, evaluating hemispheric asymmetry, sex, age and the effect of sagittal pathology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S031716712610660X_as2\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We conducted a single-center retrospective analysis using MRI. VoT entry sites were measured relative to the marginal sulcus by two independent interpreters.
