The superior cervical ganglion (SCG) is the upper-most and largest[1] of the cervical sympathetic ganglia of the sympathetic trunk.[1][2] It probably formed by the union of four sympathetic ganglia of the cervical spinal nerves C1–C4.[1] It is the only ganglion of the sympathetic nervous system that innervates the head and neck. The SCG innervates numerous structures of the head and neck.
