The angular vein formed by the junction of the Frontal and Supraorbital veins, runs obliquely downward, on the side of the root of the Nose , to the level of the lower margin of the orbit, where it becomes the Anterior Facial Vein .

It receives the veins of the Ala Nasi , and communicates with the Superior Ophthalmic Vein through the Nasofrontal Vein , thus establishing an important Anastomosis between the Anterior Facial Vein and the Cavernous Sinus .
