“…The percentage of each CV type and subtype in all the reported cases is listed in Values represent frequencies and percentages. All the percentages were rounded to the nearest whole number [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,13,14,17,18,19,20,22,25].…”

“…The unusual courses of the CV beyond the clavicle were found on both sides in some of the cadavers at our university, and one side of the JCV was thicker than the other. However, none of the other papers mentioned this detail, with the exception of Anastasopoulos et al [1,17]. Radiological studies of unusual JCVs focused on one side only, which may explain why the percentage of unusual courses reported on both sides was low.…”

“…Despite the clinical importance of the cephalic vein, anatomical variations in its course and diameter of the cephalic vein may limit or complicate insertion of one or several leads. A supraclavicular course of the cephalic vein was reported in 0.2% of cases [ 5 ]. Anastasopoulos et al [ 6 ] reported in 2% of cases the occurrence of anastomosis of cephalic vein with external juguar vein (EJV) via a communicating branch.…”

Clinically, the cephalic vein is preferred for haemodialysis in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), to remove waste products from blood. The cut-down of cephalic vein in the deltopectoral groove is preferred when superior vena caval infusion is necessary. However, cephalic veins exhibit a wide array of developmental variations in terms of formation, course, and termination. In this report, we describe a case of an anomalous cephalic vein with a bifid course of terminations on both left and right upper limbs which has not been described by previous literature. During routine gross anatomy dissection of the neck, we observed a rare case of variation of the termination of the cephalic vein in both right and left upper limbs, of a male cadaver. Knowledge of the variations of cephalic vein is important not only for anatomists but also for surgeons and clinicians as the vein is frequently used for different surgical procedures and for obtaining peripheral venous access as well.

“…At the 22 mm stage of embryonic development the external jugular vein emerges from the plexus and the cephalic vein opens to the external jugular vein via jugulocephalic vein [30]. Passing anterior to the clavicle, the jugulocephalic vein may persist in Prosimia, Anthropoidea: Ceboidea, Cercopithecoidea and in rare cases in humans [9, 21, 30–38].…”

The superficial veins of the forelimb show high variability, both in man and in other primates, regarding the number of main venous trunks, their course, as well as the origin and location of openings. The distinction between two venous systems–the superficial and deep was made based on the relation of specific venous channels to the deep fascia; both groups of veins anastomose to each other through perforators piercing the deep fascia. In our work, we paid special attention to the organization of the venous system within the forelimb of the Anubis baboon (Papio anubis), as well as communications between the superficial and deep venous system. The main aim of the study was a detailed examination of the location of venous valves and perforating veins in forelimb of Anubis baboon. In the Anubis baboon, we observed the absence of the basilic vein. The main vessel within the forelimb, in the superficial venous system, was a well-developed cephalic vein. In all the cases, the cephalic vein opened into the external jugular vein. Also, in all of the examined specimens, there was an additional anastomosis connecting the cephalic and external jugular vein, i.e., persistent jugulocephalic vein located anterior to the clavicle. The venous vessels in the Anubis baboon were arranged in two main layers: superficial and deep, with both systems being connected by perforators located at the level of the carpus and cubital fossa. The number of venous valves within the cephalic vein was greater on the forearm the same as the mean intervalvular distance.
