Anatomical terminology

The iliolumbar vein is the vena comitans of the iliolumbar artery.

The obturator nerve crosses superficial to it.[1]

A single vein is found more commonly than a double vein.[2]

It drains vertebral segments four and five.[3]

It is closely related to the ascending lumbar vein.[3]
