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.
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.
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.

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.
The superior cerebellar veins pass partly forward and medialward, across the superior cerebellar vermis. They end in the straight sinus, [1] and the internal cerebral veins, partly lateralward to the transverse and superior petrosal sinuses. The inferior cerebellar veins are larger.
The superficial middle cerebral vein (superficial Sylvian vein) begins on the lateral surface of the hemisphere. It runs along the lateral sulcus [1] to empty into either the cavernous sinus, [1] [2] or sphenoparietal sinus. [1] It is adherent to the deep surface of the arachnoid mater bridging the lateral sulcus. It drains the adjacent cortex. [2]
