We report here a pilot identification of the presence of the lumenized Lyve-1/Prox-1-expressing vessels with distinct walls composed of a single endothelial layer in the unaffected brain and with intraventricular hemorrhages. These lymphatic vessels (LVs) have valves and an undulating shape in the distal region that is the classical characteristic of lymphatic precollectors. Furthermore, we identified Lyve-1/Prox-1-expressing lymphatic elements in the enlarged perivascular spaces. These pioneering results might be a revolutionary step in our understanding of anatomy and physiology of the cerebral lymphatics and stimulate a reassessment of basic assumptions in the aetiology of brain diseases associated with lymphatic dysfunction. The discovery of the cerebral LVs is a crucial step in the development of breakthrough technologies of modulations of lymphatic removing of toxins and blood from the brain.
