Inferior cerebral veins
What large vein sits in the Lateral fissure and drains anteriorly into the cavernous sinus?
Superficial middle cerebral vein
(SMCV)
What runs along the central sulcus and connects the SMCV to superior sagittal sinus?
Superior anastomotic vein (of trolard)
What runs diagnoally across the temporal lobe and connects the SMCV to the transverse sinus?
