Other cavernous sinuses via inter-cavernous sinuses.
Pterygoid plexuses of veins (via 3 emissary veins).
It is present around the lateral pterygoid muscle.
It communicates with inferior ophthalmic vein, anterior facial vein and cavernous sinus
These veins have no valves; draining the dangerous area of face and can cause
It is drained by the maxillary vein.

- The area formed of nose & upper lip.
- Any infection even boil must not be squeezed for fear of cavernous sinus
- lnfection reaches cavernous sinus either via ophthalmic emissary vein or
reaches pterygoid plexus through emissary vein in foramen lacerum.

o Formed by the union of supra-trochlear & supra-orbital veins.
o Ends by joining anterior division of posterior facial vein to form the common facial vein,
which ends in internaljugular vein.
NB: Superior thyroid vein may end in the common facial vein 50%.
Formed inside parotid gland by union of superficial temporal & maxillary veins.
1) Anterior division ) ends in common facial vein.
2) Posterior division ) joins posterior auricular vein to form external jugular vein
which ends in the subclavian vein.
It connects anterior facial vein with pterygoid plexus of veins.
