Abstract
The facial vein drains the facial region of our body. It unites with the anterior division of the retromandibularvein to form the common facial vein. In this case report, the retromandibular vein was seen dividing normallyinto the anterior and posterior divisions. The posterior division was seen uniting with the posterior auricularvein to form the external jugular vein. Formation and course of the external jugular vein was normal. The anteriordivision of the retromandibular vein was uniting with the facial vein to form the common facial vein, which wasdraining into the anterior jugular vein instead of the internal jugular vein.
