Most of these lymph nodes are situated deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, though some are not.[1] Some are situated anterior and some posterior to the internal jugular vein. They are also situated adjacent to the accessory nerve (CN XI).[2]
Jugulodigastric groupedit
Superior deep cervical lymph nodes situated in a triangular region bounded by the posterior belly of the digastric muscle, the facial vein, and the internal jugular vein form a subgroup - the jugulodigastric group. The group consists of a single large lymph node and multiple smaller lymph nodes. It is particularly involved in the drainage of the tongue.[1]
