Overview of venous drainage
• Superficial veins drain into the superior sagittal sinus and cavernous sinus
• Deep veins drain into great vein of Galen• Majority of veins ultimately drain to the internal
jugular veins• Superior sagittal sinus –> transverse sinuses -
>sigmoid sinus -> jugular foramen to become the internal jugular vein
• Cavernous sinus (int carotid artery, CN III-IV-V-VI) ->superior petrosal sinus -> transverse sinus
• Cavernous sinus -> inferior petrosal sinus ->internal jugular vein
![Page 39: CH10. Cerebral hemispheres and vascular supply By: Laurence Poliquin-Lasnier R2 Neurology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d125503460f949e5d6d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Deep venous drainage
• Internal cerebral veins, basal veins of Rosenthal, and other veins ->great cerebral vein of Galen -> joined by inferior sagittal sinus –> to form straight sinus
• Confluence of sinus (torcular Herophili) = superior sagittal sinus + straight sinus + occipital sinus
• Confluence of sinus drained by transverse sinus

• L leg hyperreflexia, L Babinski• Sensory: inconsistent decreased response to
pinprick on L• Tactile extinction on L• One month later, partially recovered power,
but feels that her L arm is out of control, grasp onto things without her being aware and would have to use her R arm to release the grasp
• When distracted, can use both arms normally

Conclusion
• 3 main cerebral arteries– ACA, MCA, PCA
• Anterior circulation composed of internal carotid artery that leads to ACA and MCA within the circle of willis
• Posterior circulation arises from vertebrobasilar system and leads to PCA within the circle of willis

Conclusion
• ACA supplies medial frontal and medial parietal lobes (sensorimotor cortex for lower extremities)
• PCA supplies the medial and inferior occipital and temporal lobes (primary visual cortex)
• MCA supplies entire lateral surface of the brain (face and arm sensorimotor regions + association cortex)
![Page 51: CH10. Cerebral hemispheres and vascular supply By: Laurence Poliquin-Lasnier R2 Neurology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d125503460f949e5d6d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Conclusion
• MCA deep territory supplies internal capsule and most of basal ganglia
• ACA deep territory supplies anterior basal ganglia and internal capsule
• PCA deep territory supplies thalamus, midbrain, midbrain, posterior internal capsule
•

Conclusion
• Venous drainage occurs via superficial and deep cerebral veins
• Superficial veins drain into superior sagittal sinus and cavernous sinus
• Deep veins drain into great vein of Galen
• Ultimately all venous drainage reaches internal jugular vein mostly via transverse and sigmoid sinus
