Anatomical terminology |
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]
