Superficial veins of the brain

Within the human brain, the superficial veins of the brain are those veins that are close to the surface of the brain.^[1] They consist of a superior group that empties into the superior sagittal sinus and inferior sagittal sinus, and an inferior group which empties into the transverse sinuses and the cavernous sinuses.^[2]
