Template:Infobox Lymph Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
The deep cervical lymph nodes are a group of cervical lymph nodes found near the internal jugular vein.[1]
They can be divided into upper and lower groups,[1] or superior and inferior groups.[2]
Alternatively, they can be divided into deep anterior cervical lymph nodes and deep lateral cervical lymph nodes.
They can also be divided into three groups: "superior deep jugular", "middle deep jugular", and "inferior deep jugular".[3][4]
