The external jugular vein was formed by joining the maxillary and linguofacial veins at the caudal level of mandibular angle. The linguofacial vein was formed by joining the glandular, lingual and facial veins The intraorbital and descending palatine vein directly joined the deep facial vein. It was determined that the maxillary i/em formed by joining the caudal auricular, ventral masseteric, superficial temporal veins and pterygoid plexus at the medial level of parotid gland It was observed that the pterygoid plexus composed of the palatinal, pharyngeal, inferior alveolar, deep temporal, masseteric, temporomandibular articular, buccal and pterygoid veins.
