Reporting of an Anatomical Variation for Anterior Jugular Vein.

ABSTRACT

Being acquainted with anatomical variations is a sine qua non for surgeons. Since there were a few findings about Anterior Jugular Vein (AJV) that most of them were about its aneurism than of the about its anatomical variations we intend to report one of its variations. AJV is a superficial vein in head and neck anatomy which is paired (left and right), that seems U-shaped. In this case which was a male cadaver AJV is single and only has one branch parallel to mid-line instead of being paired. There is no Jugular arch in this case.
