Superior choroid vein
editThe superior choroid vein runs along the length of the choroid plexus in the lateral ventricle. It drains the choroid plexus, and also the hippocampus, fornix, and corpus callosum. It unites with the superior thalamostriate vein to form the internal cerebral vein.[1][2]
Inferior choroid vein
editThe inferior choroid vein drains the inferior choroid plexus into the basal vein.[1]
