Vein of corpus callosus

The vein of corpus callosum is an unpaired cerebral vein that courses along the dorsal surface of the corpus callosum and participates in the deep venous drainage of the brain.

• Origin: Begins rostrally near the ventral border of the falx cerebri in the frontal region.

• Course / Relations: It courses caudally along the midline of the dorsal surface of the corpus callosum, between the right and left pericallosal arteries, toward the splenium.

• Termination / Confluence: At the caudal end of the corpus callosum, it joins the internal cerebral veins and contributes to the formation of the great cerebral vein.

The vein of corpus callosum is a median cerebral vein closely related to the dorsal surface of the corpus callosum. It extends caudally from the frontal region between the paired pericallosal arteries and follows the corpus callosum to its splenium. Caudally, it joins the internal cerebral veins, and the resulting venous drainage continues through the great cerebral vein.
