Great cerebral veins

Vena cerebri magna

Definition

Juliette Garnodier

The great cerebral veins are large deep cerebral veins that collect venous blood from the internal regions of the brain and drain it toward the dural venous sinuses. They are formed by the convergence of deep cerebral veins and participate in the drainage of the cerebrum and diencephalon.
