Is there a Right and Left of the Superior Sagittarius Sinus or does the right transverse sinus just drain into the Superior Sagittal Sinus?

Answer: The superior sagittal sinus drains into the transverse sinus. The transverse sinuses also receive venous drainage from small veins from both the middle ear and the mastoid cells. The transverse sinus becomes the sigmoid sinus before draining into the internal jugular vein.
