Within the human brain, the superficial veins of the brain are those veins that are close to the surface of the brain.[1] They consist of a superior group that empties into the superior sagittal sinus and inferior sagittal sinus, and an inferior group which empties into the transverse sinuses and the cavernous sinuses.[2]
