 Dural Venous Sinuses

• They are blood-filled spaces situated between

the layers of t he duramater,
• lined by endothelium,
• Walls are thick and composed of fibrous
tissue.
• They have no muscular tissue.
• They have no valves.

 DIPLOIC VEINS
► These veins occupy channels in diploc of
some cranial bones and are devoid of valves.
They are large with dila1ion al regular
inlerval; lheir lhin wall is merely
endolhelium. Abscnl al binh, begin lo
develop al aboul 2yrs. They communicalc
with meningeal veins, Dural sinuses &
pericranial veins.

► Fronlal diploic vein

► An anterior temporal diploic vein
► A poslerior temporal diploic vein
► An occipilal diploic vein
