| vena anastomotica superior | <anatomy, vein> A large communicating vein between the superficial middle cerebral vein and the superior sagittal sinus; it passes upward from the lateral sulcus, often following the line of the central sulcus (Rolando's fissure). Synonym: vena anastomotica superior, Trolard's vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena azygos minor superior | <anatomy, vein> Formed by the union of the fourth to seventh left posterior intercostal veins, passes along the side of the bodies of the fifth, sixth, and seventh thoracic vertebrae, then crosses the midline behind the aorta, oesophagus, and thoracic duct, and empties into the azygos vein, sometimes in common with the hemiazygos vein. Synonym: vena hemiazygos accessoria, vena azygos minor superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena basalis superior | <anatomy, vein> Tributary to the common basal vein draining the lateral and anterior part of the inferior lobe of each lung. Synonym: vena basalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
