Definition[Bearbeiten]
The Nodi lymphatici occipitales are 1-3 small lymph nodes located at the back of the head in the lateral cervical region.
Anatomy[Bearbeiten]
The occipital lymph nodes are orientated close to the edge of the trapezius muscle and are usually located directly at the insertion site of the semispinalis capitis muscle.
They drain the posterior parts of the scalp (occipital region) and channel the lymph to the deep cervical lymph nodes.
