Wikipedia
diploic vein
The diploic veins are large, thin-walled valveless veins that channel in the diploë between the inner and outer layers of the cortical bone in the skull. They are lined by a single layer of endothelium supported by elastic tissue. They develop fully by the age of two years. The diploic veins drain this area into the dural venous sinuses. The four major trunks of the diploic veins found on each side of the head are frontal, anterior temporal, posterior temporal, and occipital diploic veins. They tend to be symmetrical, with the same pattern of large veins on each side of the skull.

diploic vein
A diploic vein is a large venous channel situated within the diploe, the spongy material found between the inner and outer layers of the skull bones. These veins function as conduits for the drainage of blood from the brain's outer layers to the venous sinuses located within the cranial cavity. They can vary in size and can be found across several regions of the skull.
