Veins of the lower limb;
principle of organisation.
Disturbances of the venous flow of the lower limb, especially
varicosis, are a common cause of vascular disorders.
If one of the venous systems is entirely occluded, the
perforating veins may be of crucial importance to maintain
the venous drainage.
