facial vein
vena facialis

They studied buccal segments of the human facial veins in vitro.

This is possible because of venous communication (via the ophthalmic veins) between the facial vein and the cavernous sinus.

However, substantial drainage via the ophthalmic, infraorbital, and deep facial veins communicates with the cavernous sinus (ref).

Infections may also be introduced by facial lacerations and by bursting pimples in the areas drained by the facial vein.

It descends behind the auricula, and joins the posterior division of the posterior facial vein to form the external jugular.

The common facial vein is not present in all individuals.

No facial veins or clumps of bristly warts.

Diagnosis is generally achieved by signs such as cranial bruits and symptoms such as expanded facial veins.

The facial vein (or anterior facial vein) is a relative large vein in face.

A common misconception states that the facial vein has no valves, but this has been contradicted by recent studies.
