Palm-vein recognition is a fine-grained biometric task in which both local vascular texture and the global layout of the vessel tree carry discriminative information, while public datasets remain limited. We propose a topology-aware global-local backbone that combines multi-scale local features, a structureguided directional stream built on a fixed Sobel-magnitude edge prior, and a four-direction state-space scan global pathway within six Topology-Aware Blocks. A staged gated fusion integrates local, structural, and global representations in that order. On HKPUNIR, our method achieves 99.13% top-1 accuracy and 0.08% EER with 7.2 M parameters; on VERA Palm Vein, it achieves 92.42% accuracy and 0.61% EER. Across both datasets it attains the lowest EER among ResNet50, Vim-S, ViT-S, and GLVM at the smallest parameter count, while GLVM remains the strongest in top-1 accuracy and the cheapest in FLOPs. Code is available upon request.
