Fascia cribrosa

Fascia cribrosa
The great saphenous vein and its tributaries at the fossa ovalis.
Latin	fascia cribrosa
Gray's	subject #128 468

The portion of fascia covering the fossa ovalis in the thigh is perforated by the great saphenous vein and by numerous blood and lymphatic vessels, hence it has been termed the fascia cribrosa (Hesselbach's or cribriform fascia), the openings for these vessels having been likened to the holes in a sieve.

Clinical significance

It has been proposed for use in preventing new vascularization when surgery is performed at the joint between the great saphenous vein and the femoral vein.^[1]

Eponym

When the eponym is used, it is named for Franz Kaspar Hesselbach.^[2][3]
