The '''inferior cerebral veins''', of small size, drain the under surfaces of the hemispheres.
Those on the orbital surface of the [[frontal lobe]] join the [[superior cerebral veins]], and through these open into the [[superior sagittal sinus]].
Those of the [[temporal lobe]] anastomose with the [[middle cerebral]] and [[basal veins]], and join the [[cavernous]], [[sphenoparietal]], and [[superior petrosal]] sinuses.
