Abstract

Objective: To study and classify the types of the terminations of the cephalic veins in the Thais and compare the percent count of each type between male and female, right and left sides.
Methods: The ending part of the cephalic veins were dissected and classified in Thai cadavers. Each type was shown by photograph, diagram, number and percent count.
Results: The cephalic vein, studied from 208 upper extremities, had three types of termination. Type I, cephalic vein terminated in axillary vein; type II termination was external jugular vein; type III termination was axillary vein and external jugular vein.
Conclusion: The termination of cephalic veins were shown and classified into three types and sex had no influence on the patterns of cephalic vein termination.
