The transverse sinus is a channel located within the brain that plays a crucial role in draining blood. It is part of the venous system and runs horizontally along the back of the skull, collecting blood from the superior sagittal sinus and other veins. This blood is then directed towards the internal jugular vein, which carries it away from the brain. This sinus is important for maintaining proper blood flow and pressure within the cranial cavity. Any blockage or thrombosis in the transverse sinus can lead to increased intracranial pressure and various neurological symptoms, highlighting its significance in brain health.
