“…3 FV terminating into the external jugular vein has also been reported in the literature, 4,5 as has the left common FV terminating into the left subclavian vein. 6 There is a preponderance of venous variations on the right side of the face in the literature, 7 contrarily to what was observed in the present case.…”

Termination of the facial vein into the external jugular vein: an anatomical variation

Different patterns of variations in the venous drainage have been observed in the past. During routine dissection in our Department of Anatomy, an unusual drainage pattern of the veins of the left side of the face of a middle aged cadaver was observed. The facial vein presented a normal course from its origin up to the base of mandible, and then it crossed the base of mandible posteriorly to the facial artery. Thereafter, it joined with the anterior division of retromandibular vein to form the common facial vein, which drained into the external jugular vein directly. Sound anatomic knowledge of the above variation in facial veins is essential to the success of surgical procedures in this region.

“…Generally, the RMV is formed by the union of the STV and the MV at a higher level into the parotid gland, near the neck of the mandible (PRAKASH and BHAGATH, 2007). In this study, it was possible to observe that the union between the tributary veins of the RMV occurred at a lower level between angle of the mandible and ECM (Figure 2).…”

“…Veins are vascular structures that most often present alterations in the drainage pattern when compared to the arteries. Numerous studies have been done on these blood vessels in various parts of the human body, including the head and neck (PRAKASH and BHAGATH, 2007;BALACHANDRA, PADMALATHA, PRAKASH et al, 2012;YANG, GIL, JIN et al, 2012;JOO, FUNAKI, YOSHIOKA et al, 2013;SHETTY, NAYAK, KUMAR et al, 2013;ASSIS, FERNANDES and ARAÚJO, 2014). The standard anatomical report of the veins of the face consists of the union between the maxillary and superficial temporal veins within of the parotid gland with the consequent formation of the retromandibular vein (MEHRA, KAUL and DAS, 2003;CHOUDHARY, SHARMA and SINGH, 2010;SELVI and KUMAR, 2013).…”

Introduction: The knowledge of morphological variations of the veins of the head and neck is essential for health professionals, both for diagnostic procedures as for clinical and surgical planning. This study described changes in the following structures: retromandibular vein and its divisions, including the relationship with the facial nerve, facial vein, common facial vein and jugular veins. Material and Methods: The variations of the veins were analyzed in three heads, five hemi-heads (right side) and two hemi-heads (left side) of unknown age and sex. Results: The changes only on the right side of the face were: union between the superficial temporal and maxillary veins at a lower level; absence of the common facial vein and facial vein draining into the external jugular vein. While on the left, only, it was noted: posterior division of retromandibular, after unite with the common facial vein, led to the internal jugular vein; union between the posterior auricular and common facial veins to form the external jugular and union between posterior auricular and common facial veins to terminate into internal jugular. The absence of the anterior and posterior divisions of retromandibular vein was observed on both sides of the face. Conclusion: These findings provide relevant informations about important vessels of the head and neck and will contribute to the appropriate clinical and / or surgical planning, aiming at the preservation of important structures.

Surgical anatomy of jugular vein tributaries Background: The main tributaries of the internal jugular vein join at cervical level through the venous thyrolinguofacial trunk. This trunk is classically described as formed by the union of the facial, superior thyroid and lingual veins. Aim: To evaluate variations in the formation of the thyrolinguofacial trunk in human cadavers. Material and Methods: Thirty hemi-necks were dissected in human cadavers of nine men and six women, with ages ranging between 29 and 50 years, and analyzed by direct observation. Results: In 16 hemi-necks (53.3%), the trunk was thyrolinguofacial; in seven (23.3%), it was linguofacial; in six (20%), it was thyrolingual and in one case (3.3%) it was thyrolinguo pharyngofacial. No thyrofacial trunk formation was found. There was a correlation between the diameter of the internal jugular vein and of the venous trunk formed by these veins. Conclusions: There are morphological changes in the formation patterns of facial, lingual and superior thyroid veins. This information is useful for surgical oncology, plastic surgery, head and neck surgery and radiology.
