TERMINATION OF THE COMMON FACIAL VEIN INTO THE ANTERIOR JUGULAR VEIN: A RARE CASE REPORT
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The facial vein drains the facial region of our body. It unites with the anterior division of the retromandibular vein to form the common facial vein. In this case report, the retromandibular vein was seen dividing normally into the anterior and posterior divisions. The posterior division was seen uniting with the posterior auricular vein to form the external jugular vein. Formation and course of the external jugular vein was normal. The anterior division of the retromandibular vein was uniting with the facial vein to form the common facial vein, which was draining into the anterior jugular vein instead of the internal jugular vein.
