The internal iliac vein emerges from above the level of the greater sciatic notch It runs backwards, upwards and towards the midline to join the external iliac vein in forming the common iliac vein in front of the sacroiliac joint. It usually lies lateral to the internal iliac artery. [2] It is wide and 3 cm long. [3]
The external iliac vein and internal iliac vein unite in front of the sacroiliac joint to form the common iliac veins. [2] Both common iliac veins ascend to form the inferior vena cava behind the right common iliac artery at the level of the fifth lumbar vertebra.
In human anatomy, iliac vein refers to several anatomical structures located in the pelvis: Common iliac vein, formed by the external and internal iliac veins, drains into the inferior vena cava; Deep circumflex iliac vein, formed by the union of the venae comitantes of the deep iliac circumflex artery, and joins the external iliac vein
Because of its similarities to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), May–Thurner syndrome is rarely diagnosed amongst the general population. In this condition, the right iliac artery sequesters and compresses the left common iliac vein against the lumbar section of the spine, [5] resulting in swelling of the legs and ankles, pain, tingling, and/or numbness in the legs and feet.

The internal iliac artery supplies the walls and viscera of the pelvis, the buttock, the reproductive organs, and the medial compartment of the thigh. The vesicular branches of the internal iliac arteries supply the bladder. [1] It is a short, thick vessel, smaller than the external iliac artery, and about 3 to 4 cm in length.
According to the 8th edition of Clinically Oriented Anatomy (2017), the internal rectal plexus is drains mostly into the superior rectal vein superior/proximal to the pectinate line, and into the inferior rectal veins (→internal pudendal vein→internal iliac vein→common iliac vein→inferior vena cava) around the margin of the external ...
The lateral sacral veins accompany the lateral sacral arteries on the anterior surface of the sacrum. They drain into the internal iliac vein . [ 1 ] They communicate with each other via the sacral venous plexus .
