The retromandibular vein divides into anterior and posterior divisions. The posterior division joins with the posterior auricular vein to form the external jugular vein. The anterior division joins the facial vein to form the common facial vein. Reference: Textbook of anatomy, head neck and brainVishram Singh, 2nd edition, page no.60,245
