This review provides a comprehensive overview of the anatomy of the submental vein, synthesizing recent findings on its development, anatomical features, course, and clinical significance. Additionally, it introduces the mylohyoid triangle, a new anatomical landmark where the submental vein, submental artery, and the nerve to the mylohyoid muscle run in parallel. As an essential structure in head and neck reconstructive surgery, the submental vein exhibits considerable anatomical variability, primarily due to its complex developmental process. This review highlights the importance of understanding the anatomy of the submental vein and performing thorough preoperative evaluations to enhance surgical success.
本综述全面概述了颏下静脉的解剖结构，综合了其发育、解剖特征、走行及临床意义的最新研究结果。此外，还介绍了颏下三角，这是一个新的解剖标志，颏下静脉、颏下动脉和颏舌骨肌神经在此平行走行。作为头颈重建手术中的重要结构，颏下静脉表现出相当大的解剖变异，主要归因于其复杂的发育过程。本综述强调了了解颏下静脉解剖结构并进行全面术前评估以提高手术成功率的重要性。
