Definition[Bearbeiten]
The anterior auricular veins are small veins that drain deoxygenated blood from the external acoustic meatus.
Anatomy[Bearbeiten]
The anterior auricular veins flow into the superficial temporal vein, which drains into the retromandibular vein. Via the anterior branch of the retromandibular vein, the blood is drained into the facial vein, which flows into the internal jugular vein. The posterior branch of the retromandibular vein joins the posterior auricular vein and flows into the external jugular vein.
