Re: TERM Vv. perforantes of the leg

[Guest guest]

In English, perforating veins. In Spanish, venas perforantes (According to the

Terminologia Anatomica).

Dear Albert,

Very quickly as I have a dealine to meet, the following link has

been very helpful in the past for translations concerning lower limb

veins (unfortunately for people using other language combinations,

only in French and English). The illustrations are particularly good.

www.phlebologia.com

Go to 'short saphenous vein territory' where you will find the names

of the perforating veins.

Good luck,
