  • Title: The official nomenclature of the superficial veins of the lower limb: a case for revision.
    Author: Staubesand J, Steel F, Li Y.
    Journal: Clin Anat; 1995; 8(6):426-8. PubMed ID: 8713165.
    Abstract:
    Attention is called to the discrepancy which exists between the official terminology of the Nomina Anatomica (PNA) as it relates to the superficial venous system of the lower limb, and anatomical reality. Suggestions are also put forward as to how the PNA could be altered to accord better with the systematic classification and topography of these vessels, and more usefully serve the needs of clinicians.
