The dorsal scapular vein is a vein that is part of the venous system of the upper limb. It is responsible for draining blood from the scapular region and typically empties into the subclavian vein.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The dorsal scapular vein accompanies the dorsal scapular artery along its course. It collects blood from the surrounding muscles and tissues of the scapula.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Understanding the anatomy of the dorsal scapular vein is important in surgical procedures involving the shoulder and neck regions. Injury to this vein can lead to hematoma formation and complications in blood drainage.
