In the posterior compartment of the thigh,
the femoral vein communicates directly with the valved ischial
veins (caudal gluteal). Their perforating veins, which are responsible
for gluteal varices, may be derived from:
ischial veins,
the profunda femoris vein, these two systems communicating with
the internal iliac vein,
superior rectal veins and hemorrhoidal veins which drain into
the inferior mesenteric vein, which belongs to the portal system.
