| venous | <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the veins. Origin: L. Venosus (18 Nov 1997) |
| venous angioma | <radiology> Caput medusae, wedge-shaped appearance with its base at the meninges and its apex directed toward the ventricles, prominent medullary vein drains into a markedly enlarged transcortical cerebral vein, angiogram: normal arterial phase without AV shunting (12 Dec 1998) |
| venous angle | The junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins, toward which converge the external and the anterior jugular and the vertebral veins, the thoracic duct in the left angle and the right lymphatic duct in the right angle. Synonym: Pirogoff's angle.
