The major dural venous sinuses included the superior sagittal sinus, inferior sagittal sinus, transverse sinus, straight sinus, sigmoid sinus and cavernous sinus. These sinuses play a crucial role in cerebral venous drainage. A dural venous sinus, in human anatomy, is any of the channels of a

branching complex sinus network that lies between layers of the dura mater, the outermost covering of the brain, and functions to collect oxygen-depleted blood. Unlike veins, these sinuses possess no muscular coat.

They also lack valves (in veins; with exception of materno-fetal blood circulation i.e. placental artery and pulmonary arteries both of which carry deoxygenated blood). 114: 519: 696: 612: 90: 483: 1325: 689: 554: 861: 676: 630:"Randomized, placebo-controlled trial of anticoagulant treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin for cerebral sinus thrombosis" 420: 109: 917: 544: 1267: 847: 956: 951: 912: 877: 871: 785: 757: 507: 1057: 1030: 780: 762: 73: 1293: 1260: 1217: 1107: 1097: 1092: 994: 984: 902: 866: 856: 350: 330: 276: 266: 1288: 1114: 1025: 434: 239: 194: 121: 97: 85: 1212: 1068: 976: 816: 795: 728: 313: 198: 1238: 1190: 1164: 1159: 1040: 1020: 737: 501:
