This video tutorial explores the superior sagittal sinus, a key dural venous sinus in the brain. It details its location, structure, and function, highlighting its role in draining deoxygenated blood from the brain to the internal jugular vein. The tutorial also covers the sinus's tributaries, including superficial cortical veins, and explains the significance of lateral lacunae and arachnoid granulations. The video concludes with a call to explore more anatomy resources on Kenhub.
