Vein, Circumflex Ilium, Superficial (V. Circumflexa Ilium Superficialis, Pna, Bna, Jna)

The circumflex vein, superficial (Vena circumflexa ilia superficia, Latin: V. Circumflexus Ilium Superficilis, PNA, BNA, JNA) is a vein that runs along the lateral surface of the ilium and flows into the femoral vein. It is one of many veins that run through the pelvic area.

The circumflex iliac vein, superficial, has several names in different anatomical systems. In Latin it is called V. Circumflexus Ilium Superficilis (Circumflexa ilia superficialis), and in English-language sources - V. Circumflex Ilium Superficialis. In English anatomical terminology, the superficial vein around the ilium belongs to the category of superficial veins (Superficial veins).

In human anatomy, the superficial circumflex iliac vein has several important functions. It is involved in blood circulation in the lower part of the body, including the pelvis and lower extremities. In addition, it helps maintain fluid balance in the body, ensuring the flow of blood from the lower extremities and pelvis.

The importance of the superficial circumflex iliac vein is also related to its location. This vein runs along the side of the ilium, making it vulnerable to injury and damage. Damage to this vein can lead to serious complications such as bleeding and infection.

To prevent injury and damage to the superficial iliac circumflex vein, care must be taken when playing sports and avoiding excessive physical activity on the lower body. It is also important to undergo regular medical examinations and examinations to identify possible problems with this vein.



The circumflex vein of the inferior medial ilium is a lacunar system of veins that branches from the internal genital and axillary veins. Under the iliac crest there is a lacuna that passes under the lacunar muscle layer of the obturator externus muscle. The transverse and inferior pubis have the greatest influence on the recess.
