An unusual termination of facial vein and anterior division of retromandibular vein into external jugular vein: a case report.

Facial vein, being the largest vein of the face forms the common facial vein after joining with the anterior division of retromandibular vein below the angle of the mandible. Usually, it drains into the internal jugular vein. During routine dissection of head and neck region of a male cadaver, aged...
