The deep cervical lymph nodes are a group of cervical lymph nodes in the neck^[1] that form a chain along the internal jugular vein within the carotid sheath.^[2]

Structure

Classification

The deep cervical lymph nodes are subdivided into a superior group and an inferior group.^[3]^[4]

Alternatively, they can be divided into deep anterior cervical lymph nodes and deep lateral cervical lymph nodes.^{[citation needed]}

They can also be divided into three groups: "superior deep jugular", "middle deep jugular", and "inferior deep jugular".^[5]^[6]

Relations

The deep cervical lymph nodes are contained in the carotid sheath in the neck, close to the internal jugular vein.^[7] They connect to the meningeal lymphatic vessels superiorly.^[8]^[9]

Afferents

All lymphatic vessels of the head and neck ultimately drain to the deep cervical lymph nodes - either by way of other lymph nodes or directly from tissues.^[4]

CNS lymphatic vessels have been found to drain to the deep cervical lymph nodes in a 2016 animal study.^[10]

Efferents

Efferents of the deep cervical lymph nodes form the ipsilateral jugular trunk.^[4]
