The sphenoparietal sinus is one of the paired dural venous sinuses which drains blood from the brain. It drains the superficial middle cerebral vein, frontal ramus of middle meningeal vein and anterior temporal diploic vein to the cavernous sinus.[2] The sphenoparietal sinus travels along the sphenoidal ridge of the sphenoid bone between the anterior cranial fossa and middle cranial fossa.
