Most are not named but are known as superior, middle, and inferior cerebral veins. Only three can be identified: Superficial middle cerebral vein that runs along the Sylvian fissureVein of Trolard, the largest cortical vein, drains into the SSSVein of Labbe, which drains the temporal lobe

The superficial middle cerebral vein drains the lateral surface of the brain and ends in the cavernous sinus. A superior anastomotic vein connects the superficial middle cerebral vein to the superior sagittal sinus, and an inferior anastomotic vein connects it to the transverse sinus.

The area of facial skin bounded by the upper lip, nose, medial part of cheek and the eye is a potentially dangerous area to have an infection (the so called ‘danger area of the face’). An infection in this area may result in thrombosis of the facial vein, with spread of organisms through the inferior ophthalmic vein to the cavernous sinus. This may result in a cavernous sinus thrombosis. By the superficial middle cerebral vein, such thrombosis may spread to the cerebral hemisphere, which may be fatal unless adequately treated with antibiotics.

Traditionally AVMs were felt to develop during the first trimester, as after this time the adult forms of arterial and venous anatomy are largely complete.31–33 Increasingly detailed understanding of the embryological stages in the formation of arterial and venous systems and some observations on the anatomical configuration of AVMs were used by some authors to support this theory of disordered vasculogenesis.34,35 For example, during embryogenesis branches connecting the anterior cerebral artery to the choroid plexus of the third ventricle were seen to form then regress prior to birth. Persistence of these anastomoses are rare, hence when seen in the context of AVMs of the third ventricle some have used this as an evidence of prenatal development.36 Similarly, Mullan et al. observed a frequent absence of a middle cerebral vein or its connection with the cavernous sinus in patients with AVMs. It implies that the abnormal shunt occurred prior to the development of superficial middle cerebral vein, since this vessel only forms after closure of the Sylvian fissure.
