Study Notes
Venous Drainage of the Brain
- Deep and superficial veins drain both intracranial and extracranial regions.
- Internal cerebral veins are formed by the merging of the thalamostriate and choroidal veins.
- Common site for malformations in infants and fetuses is the brain, particularly in regions with complex vascular formations.
Sinus Locations and Functions
- The superior sagittal sinus begins at the crista galli and runs along the midline of the skull.
- Sinuses that drain into the confluence of the sinuses include the superior sagittal, straight, transverse, and occipital sinuses.
- Transverse sinuses run laterally from the confluence of the sinuses towards the sigmoid sinus.
Sigmoid Sinus and Jugular Drainage
- The sigmoid sinus is situated in the posterior cranial fossa and drains into the internal jugular bulb.
- Ultimately, the dural venous sinuses drain into the internal jugular vein, which carries deoxygenated blood from the brain.
Venous Sinuses and Composition
- Venous sinuses contain blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), facilitating the drainage of venous blood from the brain.
- Dural sinuses are large, valveless channels found between the periosteal and meningeal layers of the dura mater.
Cranial Nerves and Important Veins
- The vein that drains into the superior sagittal sinus is the superior cerebral vein.
- The Great vein of Galen returns blood from the internal cerebral veins and drains into the straight sinus.
- The cavernous sinus houses the sixth cranial nerve (CNVI) and the internal carotid artery.
Regional Drainage Details
- Posterior temporal and anterior occipital regions are drained by the occipital and temporal veins.
- Other frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital cortices are drained by the cortical veins.
- Internal and deep cerebral veins drain structures within the brain, including the thalamus and basal ganglia.
- Extracranial veins drain into the internal jugular vein and subclavian vein, connecting with the systemic venous circulation.
