Wikipedia

  1. Angular vein

    The angular vein is a vein of the face. It is the upper part of the facial vein, above its junction with the superior labial vein. It is formed by the junction of the supratrochlear vein and supraorbital vein, and joins with the superior labial vein. It drains the medial canthus, and parts of the nose and the upper lip. It can be a route of spread of infection from the danger triangle of the face to the cavernous sinus.

  1. angular vein

    The angular vein is a blood vessel located in the facial region of the human body, specifically near the nose and eyes. It is a continuation of the supratrochlear vein and drains blood from the lateral side of the nose, the upper eyelid and the superficial frontal region. It typically joins with the supraorbital vein to form the facial vein, which in turn leads to the internal jugular vein. Any obstructions or issues in the angular vein can lead to swelling, pain, and other complications.

  1. Angular vein

    The angular vein is a small vein near the eye. It is formed by the junction of the frontal vein and supraorbital vein, runs obliquely downward, on the side of the root of the nose, to the level of the lower margin of the eye socket, where it becomes the anterior facial vein. It receives the external nasal veins of the ala of the nose, and communicates with the superior ophthalmic vein through the nasofrontal vein, thus establishing an important anastomosis between the anterior facial vein and the cavernous sinus.
