ABSTRACT
The external jugular vein, which traverses the sternocleidomastoid muscle superficially, is known to exhibit variations in its formation and course. There are less reports on the communication of the external and internal jugular vein. During routine cadaveric dissection, we detected an abnormal communication of the external jugular vein and the internal jugular vein, in a 45 year male cadaver. The knowledge of both normal and abnormal anatomy of the superficial veins of the neck may be important for clinicians performing catheterization and surgeons operating in the region of the neck. The presence of such anomalous communications may also be important for radiologists performing angiographic and sonographic studies.
RESUMEN
La vena yugular externa, cruza transversal y superficialmente al músculo esternocleidomastoideo presentando variaciones en su curso y formación, existiendo algunos repórters en las comunicaciones entre ambas venas yugulares externa e interna. Durante ua disección de rutina, detectamos una anormal comunicación entre ambas venas, en una cadáver de sexo masculino de 45 años. El conocimiento de la anatomía normal y de las variaciones de las venas superficiales del cuello es importante en los procedimientos de cateterización tanto para clínicos como para cirujanos que operan en esta región. La presencia de estas variaciones de comunicación venosa es importante además, para imagenólogos y estudios sonográficos.
