Great Saphenous Vein

Version 1

Abstract

The entrance of veins into the great saphenous vein most commonly includes the superficial epigastric, superficial circumflex iliac, the lateral accessory saphenous which forms a common trunk and the external pudendal vein which drains into the great saphenous independently.

The entrance of veins into the great saphenous vein most commonly includes the superficial epigastric, superficial circumflex iliac, the lateral accessory saphenous which forms a common trunk and the external pudendal vein which drains into the great saphenous independently. Less common patterns are that all veins drain into the great saphenous independently, the superficial circumflex iliac and superficial epigastric veins form a common trunk or the superficial circumflex iliac and the lateral accessory saphenous form a common trunk with the other veins draining into the great saphenous independently. The great saphenous vein may be doubled.
