Correct answer: B. Area drained by angular facial vein
- A. Above the line joining tragus to the nasal fold
- B. Area drained by angular facial vein
- C. Spheno - ethmoidal recess
- D. All of the above
Explanation
The dangerous area of the face is clinically important because the facial vein communicates through the angular and ophthalmic veins with the cavernous sinus. Therefore, the area drained by the angular facial vein is the best answer; the spheno-ethmoidal recess is unrelated.
