ABSTRACT

There is not much literature available on the size of middle cervical ganglion. It is usually either too small or occasionally absent. The present study was done in the department of Anatomy at PGIMS (Rohtak) during the undergraduate teaching in the dissection hall. An enlarged middle cervical ganglion along with Ansasubclavia was observed on the right side in one cadaver only. It is rare to observe such a big sized middle cervical ganglion.

KEY WORDS:  Cervical Ganglion, Ansasubclavia, Neck Masses.
