The inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve (also known as the nodose ganglion) is one of the two sensory ganglia of each vagus nerve (cranial nerve X). It contains neuron cell bodies of general visceral afferent fibers and special visceral afferent fibers.[1] It is situated within the jugular fossa just below the skull. It is situated just below the superior ganglion of vagus nerve.[2]
