The inferior thyroid veins appear two, frequently three or four, in number, and arise in the venous plexus on the thyroid gland, communicating with the middle and superior thyroid veins. While the superior and middle thyroid veins serve as direct tributaries to the internal jugular vein, the inferior thyroid veins drain directly to the brachiocephalic veins.

They form a plexus in front of the trachea, behind the Sternothyreoidei.

From this plexus, a left vein descends and joins the left brachiocephalic vein, and a right vein passes obliquely downward and to the right across the brachiocephalic artery to open into the right brachiocephalic vein, just at its junction with the superior vena cava; sometimes the right and left veins open by a common trunk in the latter situation.

These veins receive esophageal tracheal, and inferior laryngeal veins, and are provided with valves at their terminations in the brachiocephalic veins.

Journal of medical case reports.J Med Case Rep.2014 May 14;8:149. doi: 10.1186/1752-1947-8-149.
INTRODUCTION: Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is a rare condition caused by complete venous occlusion leading to impaired arterial flow. To prevent progression to limb gangrene, prompt diagnosis and treatment initiation are paramount. Here we report a rare case of posttraumatic phlegmasia cerulea dolens a

小児内頸静脈穿刺前の超音波ドプラーカラーフローによる周囲動脈の確認

茅島顕治
日本臨床麻酔学会誌 34(5), 750-754, 2014
小児の内頸静脈穿刺では超音波による穿刺前の血管走行確認が重要と思われる．穿刺部位背側近傍には，特に小児では，総頸動脈のほかにも，椎骨，鎖骨下，甲状頸，頸横，および下甲状腺動脈などが走行する場合があり誤穿刺の合併症も報告されている．動脈走行の異常および多様性も知られ，超音波ドプラーカラーフローで穿刺前に血管走行を確認しておきたい．超音波ガイド下穿刺でも穿刺に先立つシミュレーション訓練により超音波 …
