Abstract：
Venous fenestrations are rare and when present often are not pierced by regional nerves. Herein, we report an unusual case of a fenestrated superficial temporal vein (STV). Anterior to the external ear, where the STV and superficial temporal artery normally travel with the auriculotemporal nerve (ATN), the nerve was found to pierce the STV. The fenestration within the STV was approximately 0.35mm in diameter, and there was no sign of compression of the ATN as it traversed this vessel. Following the site of penetration of the STV by the ATN, the nerve had a normal course into the skin and surrounding fascia. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a fenestrated STV being pierced by the ATN. Such an anatomical variation might be considered by clinicians who treat patients with pathology of this region.
摘要：
静脉开窗很少见，如果存在，通常不会被区域神经刺穿。在这里，我们报告了一个不寻常的病例开窗颞浅静脉（STV）。外耳的前部,STV和颞浅动脉通常与耳颞部神经（ATN）一起运动，神经被发现刺穿STV.STV内的开窗直径约为0.35mm，当ATN穿过这艘船时，没有压缩的迹象。在ATN穿透STV的地点之后，神经正常进入皮肤和周围筋膜。据我们所知,这是ATN刺穿有窗STV的第一份报告。治疗具有该区域病理的患者的临床医生可能会考虑这种解剖变异。
