Anatomy
Course
Formed when the supraorbital vein and frontal vein come together. It then proceeds in a diagonal path in the crease at the base of the nose until it reaches the lower orbit where it is renamed the anterior facial vein. It is part of an anastomotic network between the cavernous sinus and the anterior facial vein.
Drain
Drains the external nasal veins.
