angular vein

The angular vein is a small vein near the eye.

The angular vein is in front of the sac and it should be take care during incising the sac.

Occasionally the frontal veins join to form a single trunk, which bifurcates at the root of the nose into the two angular veins.

It runs downward superficial to the Frontalis muscle, and joins the frontal vein at the medial angle of the orbit to form the angular vein.

It commences at the side of the root of the nose and is a direct continuation of the angular vein where it also receives a small nasal branch.

At the root of the nose the veins diverge, and, each at the medial angle of the orbit, joins the supraorbital vein, to form the angular vein.

The angular artery is the terminal part of the facial artery; it ascends to the medial angle of the eye's orbit, imbedded in the fibers of the angular head of the Quadratus labii superioris, and accompanied by the angular vein.

The superior ophthalmic vein begins at the inner angle of the orbit in a vein named the nasofrontal which communicates anteriorly with the angular vein; it pursues the same course as the ophthalmic artery, and receives tributaries corresponding to the branches of that vessel.
