Variations in the superficial veins of the face and neck are quite common and this knowledge is important in performing various head and neck surgical procedures. Aim of this study was to observe variations in the formation and termination of the superficial veins of face and neck. We studied 30 cadavers of male and female of South Indian population which were used for routine dissection for teaching medical graduates. During the study, we found an unusual termination of retromandibular vein on both sides in one cadaver and also variations in the formation and termination of anterior facial vein, lingual vein and superior thyroid vein were found in the same cadaver.
