The middle cerebral vein (superficial Sylvian vein) begins on the lateral surface of the hemisphere, and, running along the lateral cerebral fissure, ends in the cavernous or the sphenoparietal sinus.
It is connected:
- (a) with the superior sagittal sinus by the great anastomotic vein of Trolard, which opens into one of the superior cerebral veins;
- (b) with the transverse sinus by the posterior anastomotic vein of Labbé, which courses over the temporal lobe.
