The inferior cerebral veins, of small size, drain the under surfaces of the hemispheres.
Those on the orbital surface of the frontal lobe join the superior cerebral veins, and through these open into the superior sagittal sinus.
Those of the temporal lobe anastomose with the middle cerebral and basal veins, and join the cavernous, sphenoparietal, and superior petrosal sinuses.
