Superior anastamotic vein

Dr Frank Gaillard et al.

The superior anastomotic vein of Trolard connects the superior sagittal sinus and the superficial middle cerebral vein (of Sylvius).

Its size is dictated by the relative size of the superficial middle cerebral vein and the anastomotic vein of Labbé; the larger the these two veins, the smaller the vein of Trolard.
