Superior cerebral veins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The superior cerebral veins are several cerebral veins that drain the superolateral and superomedial surfaces of the cerebral hemispheres into the superior sagittal sinus.[1] There are 8-12 cerebral veins.[further explanation needed] They are predominantly found in the sulci between the gyri, but can also be found running across the gyri.[citation needed]
