3D model of cerebral veins. In human anatomy, the cerebral veins are blood vessels in the cerebral circulation which drain blood from the cerebrum of the human brain.They are divisible into external (superficial cerebral veins) and internal (internal cerebral veins) groups according to the outer or inner parts of the hemispheres they drain into.
The superior cerebral veins drain into the superior sagittal sinus individually. The anterior veins run at near right angles to the sinus while the posterior and larger veins are directed at oblique angles, opening into the sinus in a direction opposed to the current (anterior to posterior) of the blood contained within it.
In neuroanatomy, the ventricular system is a set of four interconnected cavities known as cerebral ventricles in the brain. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Within each ventricle is a region of choroid plexus which produces the circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Deep cerebral vein thrombosis is a rare [7] condition characterized by the presence of a blood clot in the deep cerebral veins and can appear in the septal veins. [8] This condition is commonly comorbid with other thrombi in the cerebral veins.
Cerebral circulation is the movement of blood through a network of cerebral arteries and veins supplying the brain. The rate of cerebral blood flow in an adult human is typically 750 milliliters per minute, or about 15% of cardiac output. Arteries deliver oxygenated blood, glucose and other nutrients to the brain.
Cistern of lateral cerebral fossa. It is situated in the fissure between the frontal and temporal lobes. It contains: The middle cerebral artery; The middle cerebral veins; The fronto-orbital veins; Collaterals to the basal vein; Cistern of lamina terminalis. It is situated just rostral to the third ventricle. It contains:
The internal cerebral veins are two veins included in the group of deep cerebral veins that drain the deep parts of the hemispheres; each internal cerebral vein is formed near the interventricular foramina by the union of the superior thalamostriate vein and the superior choroid vein.
The internal cerebral veins can be seen on the superior surfaces of the caudate nuclei and thalami just under the corpus callosum. [1] The veins at the anterior poles of the thalami merge posterior to the pineal gland to form the great cerebral vein. [1] Most of the blood in the deep cerebral veins collects into the great cerebral vein. [2]
