Anatomic and morphologic variations of the facial vein are of immense importance for surgeons doing reconstructive surgery. In view of this surgical significance, 52 adult cadavers (104 sides) were dissected to study the drainage pattern of the facial vein. Eight out of 104 sides (7.7%) showed an anomalous coursing of the facial vein to drain into the external jugular vein. One among these eight variants had a differed anatomical presentation. The embryological basis and clinical relevance are discussed. ©2008, Firat University, Medical Faculty
