Q

What veins drain into the dural venous sinuses?

A

Superficial veins from the brains surface run into these sinuses such as the superficial cortical veins and into the superior sagittal sinus to eventually reach the internal jugular vein. CSF is drained into the venous sinuses through arachnoid granulations. .

Q

Posteriorly, what does the inferior sagittal sinus combine with to form the straight sinus?

A

Great Cerebral Vein (“Vein of Galen”)

26
Q

What forms the Straight Sinus?

A

Inferior Sagittal Sinus & the Great Cerebral Veins (“Vein of Galen”)

27
Q

Where does the Inferior Sagittal Sinus drain into?

A

Straight Sinus

28
Q

Where is the straight sinus located?

A

Where the falx cerebri meets the tentorium cerebelli

29
Q

As the straight sinus continues posteriorly, where does it receive venous drainage from?

A

Superior Cerebellar Vein before joining the confluence of sinuses

30
Q

What is the Great Cerebral Vein (“Vein of Galen”)?

A

Deep cerebral vein that feeds into the straight sinus.

31
Q

What form the Great Cerebral Vein (“Vein of Galen”)?

A

2 Internal cerebral veins and join the Basal vein of Rosenthal to form the Vein of Galen

32
Q

What does the straight sinus drain into?

A

Confluence of sinuses (Torcular Horophili)

33
Q

What is the Torcular Horophili?

A

Confluence of Sinuses

34
Q

How does the straight sinus run?

A

Posteriorly and inferiorly

35
Q

Where is the Occipital sinus?

A

On the inner surface of the occipital bone within the falx cerebri

36
Q

What’s the smallest of the venous sinuses?

A

Occipital Sinus

37
Q

Where does the Occipital Sinus extend from?

A

Foramen magnum to the occipital protuberance

38
Q

Where does the occipital sinus drain?

A

Confluence of sinuses at the occipital protuberance

39
Q

What are the Intercavernous sinuses?

A

Sinus that provides a connection between the left and right paired cavernous sinuses consisting of anterior and posterior channels that lie either side of the pituitary stalk

40
Q

What are the transverse sinuses also known as?

A

Lateral sinuses (paired left and right)

40
Q

Where are the transverse sinuses formed?

A

Confluence of sinuses

40
Q

At what point do the transverse sinuses become the sigmoid sinuses?

A

As they approach the petrous part of the temporal bone

41
Q

Where does transverse sinuses drain into?

A

The Sigmoid Sinuses

42
Q

Which sinus contains a bigger sinus on either the left or right due to asymmetrical drainage of blood?

A

Transverse sinuses

43
Q

Why might one transverse sinus be bigger than its paired sinus?

A

Due to asymmetrical drainage of blood. The larger is considered the “dominant” sinus

44
Q

Where does the transverse sinus extend?

A

Extend laterally from the confluence of sinuses

45
Q

Where are the Sigmoid Sinuses?

A

They’re a continuation of the transverse sinuses at the internal surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone

46
Q

Where do the Sigmoid sinuses run?

A

Along the temporal and occipital bones

Q

What do the Sigmoid Sinuses become? and where?

A

When the sigmoid sinuses pass through the jugular foramen they become the internal jugular veins.

A

Superior and inferior petrosal sinuses

51
Q

What is the cavernous sinus?

A

52
Q

Where do the petrosal sinuses drain into?

A

Return venous blood to the transverse sinuses and internal jugular veins respectively.

53
Q

What are petrosal sinuses?

A

The smallest sinuses that are located in relation to the petrel parts of the temporal bones. Paired and have superior and inferior branches.

54
Q

What does the superior petrosal sinus drain? and into what?

A

The cavernous sinuses into the transverse sinuses. Also some from inferior cerebral vein, cerebellar veins and the labyrinth vein

55
Q

What does the inferior petrosal sinus drain?

A

Assists in the drainage of the cavernous sinuses

56
Q

Where do the inferior petrosal sinuses drain into?

A

Internal jugular veins at the jugular foramen

57
Q

How are the left and right inferior petrosal sinuses connected?

A

Basilar venous plexus

58
Q

What does the basilar venous plexus do?

A

It interconnects the left and right inferior petrosal sinuses and also communicates inferiorly with the vertebral venous plexus.

59
Q

What is your mnemonic for remembering the unpaired and paired venous sinuses?

A

Sit In Sweden Or In Turkey, Singing Carols, Santa Incoming Presents

60
Q

What are the unpaired and paired venous sinuses?

A
