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]
