description

A misprint originated in the first work of human anatomy written in Persian, Tashrih-i Mansuri, where the internal jugular (widach âçwar), is misnamed blind jugular, is the starting point of the remembrance of the names given to this vein throughout the centuries and gives forth some commentaries related with the need to consult many original documents when identifying a name in a manuscript.
