  2. Telangiectasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telangiectasia

    Telangiectasia in the legs is often related to the presence of venous reflux within underlying varicose veins. Flow abnormalities in smaller veins known as reticular veins or feeder veins under the skin can also cause spider veins to form, thereby making a recurrence of spider veins in the treated area less likely.

  3. Arteriovenous nicking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arteriovenous_nicking

    Arteriovenous nicking, also known as AV nicking, is the phenomenon where, on examination of the eye, a small artery is seen crossing a small vein (), which results in the compression of the vein with bulging on either side of the crossing.

  4. Perforator vein - Wikipedia

    Diagram showing named veins. Perforator veins exist along the length of the lower limb, in greater number in the leg (anatomical ref to below knee) than in the thigh. Some veins are named after the physician who first described them: Dodd's perforator at the inferior 1/3 of the thigh; Boyd's perforator at the knee level

    The GSV can be located in the saphenous compartment where together with the Giacomini vein and the accessory saphenous vein (ASV) an image resembling an eye, known as the 'eye sign' can be seen. The ASV which is often responsible for varicose veins, can be located at the 'alignment sign', where it is seen to align with the femoral vessels.

  6. Anterior tibial vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_tibial_vein

    The anterior tibial vein is a vein in the lower leg. In human anatomy, there are two anterior tibial veins. They originate and receive blood from the dorsal venous arch, on the back of the foot and empties into the popliteal vein. The anterior tibial veins drain the ankle joint, knee joint, tibiofibular joint, and the anterior portion of the ...

  7. Superior ophthalmic vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_ophthalmic_vein

    The superior ophthalmic vein drains venous blood from structures of the upper orbit. [2] The superior ophthalmic vein forms/represents a connection between facial veins, and intracranial veins. It is valveless. [3] The superior ophthalmic vein is the largest and the most consistently present vein of the orbit. It usually measures 2-10 mm in ...

  8. Supraorbital vein - Wikipedia

    It merges with the angular vein to form the superior ophthalmic vein. [1] [2] Previous to its junction with the angular vein, it passes through the supraorbital notch into the orbit around the eye. [1] As this vessel passes through the notch, it receives the frontal diploic vein through a foramen at the bottom of the notch.

    Another is between the popliteal artery and the posterior surface of the knee-joint. It receives afferents from the knee-joint, together with those that accompany the genicular arteries. The others lie at the sides of the popliteal vessels, and receive, as efferents, the trunks that accompany the anterior and posterior tibial vessels. [2]
