The thoracoepigastric veins are a group of epifascial veins on the anterior and lateral walls of the chest . They carry the blood from the cutaneous veins in this area to the axillary vein . They form anastomoses with the venae epigastricae superficiales, whereby they connect the flow areas of the superior and inferior vena cava . A thrombophlebitis of these veins or their branches is as Crohn Mondor called.
