Definition[Bearbeiten]
The nasofrontal vein is a vein of the facial region that is localised in the anteromedial area of the orbit. It connects the superior ophthalmic vein with the angular vein.
Clinic[Bearbeiten]
The nasofrontal vein can lead to the spread of bacterial pathogens from the drainage area of the angular vein via the superior ophthalmic vein to the cavernous sinus. This can trigger a cavernous sinus thrombosis.
