Abdominal lymph nodes

This presentation contains 12 slides. The first three slides are refreshers on the position of the mesenteric, ileocaecocolic and medial iliac lymph nodes within the abdomen. The mesenteric lymph nodes (also called jejunal) are positioned along the mesenteric vessels (artery and veins), centrally in the peritoneal cavity. The ileocaecocolic lymph nodes (also called right colic) are along the ileocaecocolic junction, in the middle of the peritoneal cavity and slightly right lateralised. The medial iliac lymph nodes are located along the lateral aspect of the external iliac arteries. The position of the mentioned lymph nodes is then illustrated on ultrasonographic still images and videos.
