Popis:	The superficial middle cerebral vein (SMCV) commonly drains in the cavernous sinus. Its different drainage variants include preserved segments of the primitive tentorial sinus. In any of these variants, the terminal venous segment of SMCV passes on the base of the skull. The archived computed tomography angiograms of a 58-year-old female case were documented anatomically. On the left side was found the sinus of the lesser sphenoidal wing converging with the middle meningeal vein to form a venous channel located within the Sylvian fissure at 4 mm laterally to the cavernous sinus and trigeminal cavum. That venous channel was thus termed the 'laterocavernous vein'. It drained posteriorly within the superior petrosal sinus. This aberrant vein could interfere unpleasantly with pterional neurosurgical approaches for the Sylvian fissure, cavernous sinus or trigeminal ganglion.
