Reply: A transvenous pressure gradient mechanism behind ventriculomegaly

We thank Dr Bateman for the positive feedback and providing updates on the topic to which he has made numerous contributions (Bateman, 2020). Our interpretation already owes a debt to them and we believe that those recent works, which we failed to cite in our discussion, should have provided a clear-cut mechanism of superficial venous insufficiency. It is indeed a highlight of our study that the observation using a very different methodology, i.e. extracting a perfusion information from resting state functional MRI data, fits with the scheme based on structural and phase-contrast flow imaging that Bateman and colleagues have used.
