There is a venous structure in the right middle fossa that communicates the superficial middle cerebral vein with the transverse sinus, that is the vein of Labbé.

There is also a vein that connects the superficial middle cerebral vein with the superior sagittal sinus, called the superior anastomotic vein, or vein of Trolard.

These are anatomical variations and should not be considered as pathological.
