The lymphatic vessels (LVs) contribute to tissue homeostasis and function by facilitating the clearance of excess fluid and macromolecules from the interstitial tissue of the brain. Various routes for the extracranial transport of LV drainage from the brain parenchyma to the deep cervical lymph nodes were described. The purpose of current research is to show the presence, distribution, and average diameter of LVs accompanying the two arteries supplying the human brain tissue: internal carotid (ICA) and vertebral (VA) arteries in humans. The ICA and VA tissue samples were obtained from 3 human
