Septal cerebral veins

Last revised by Andrew Murphy on 20 May 2017

Septal cerebral veins originate at the lateral aspect of the anterior horns of the lateral ventricles then pass medially, inferior to the genu of the corpus callosum. They then turn backwards and traverse along the septum pellucidum and enter the internal cerebral vein behind the foramen of Monro. The septal veins drain the corpus callosum and deep medullary frontal white matter.
