Product Description
The straight sinus is situated within the dura mater, where the falx cerebri meets the midline of tentorium cerebelli.[1] It forms from the confluence of the inferior sagittal sinus and the great cerebral vein.[1][2] It may also drain blood from the superior cerebellar veins and veins from the falx cerebri.[1] In cross-section, it is triangular, contains a few transverse bands across its interior, and increases in size as it proceeds backward.[citation needed] It is usually around 5 cm long.[2]
