The accessory cephalic vein is a variable vein that passes along the radial border of the forearm to join the cephalic vein near the elbow.[1] In some cases the accessory cephalic springs from the cephalic above the wrist and joins it again higher up. A large oblique branch frequently connects the basilic and cephalic veins on the back of the forearm.
