| Background: Genetic and hydrodynamic factors have a very important role in the variation between individuals in anatomical patterns of many structures like veins. Knowing of the different types of the superficial veins in the cubital fossa could be a surgically important in performing safer manipulations like venipuncture, venesection, or any another surgery at this region. The aim of the present study: This study aimed to find out patterns of superficial cubital veins in Sohag University students. Subjects and methods: The study was run on 310 participants (220 male and 90 females). A tourniquet was applied 10 cm proximal to elbow with active flexion and extension of fingers until the veins appear clearly. Results: Four patterns of superficial veins in the cubital fossa were noticed. From the total of 620 examined arms and forearms; type 1, type 2, type 3, and type 4 were 30.1%, 26.6%, 22% and 21.3% respectively. The patterns on right and left sides have no significant change, but there was significant change between males and females. Conclusion: Four Types of superficial cubital veins were identified in Sohag University students with a close prevalence of the 4 types with a significant difference between males and females. | ||||
