This document summarizes the different levels of lymph node drainage in the head and neck region. It describes the 7 levels of lymph nodes, what areas each level drains, and any relevant subdivisions. Level I drains the lip, oral cavity and tongue. Levels II-IV make up the jugular nodes draining structures like the larynx and pharynx. Level V is the posterior triangle nodes draining other neck regions. Level VI are the central or paratracheal nodes and level VII the superior mediastinal tissues.

Subzone Ia refers to the submental nodes and subzone Ib to the submandibular nodes. Subzone Ia drains anterior floor of mouth, lower lip and ventral tongue, whereas subzone Ib drains other subsites in the oral cavity.

Level II This forms the upper jugular group of nodes and drains the oropharynx, larynx, hypopharynx and parotid. The course of the spinal accessory nerve divides this level into two subzones. Level IIa lies anteroinferior to the spinal accessory nerve and IIb posterosuperior. The IIb subzone is also known as the submuscular recess. It is a clinically useful anatomical differentiation because positive level IIa disease mandates IIb dissection, however elective dissection for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal malignancy can exclude level IIb.

Level III This refers to the middle jugular nodes and drains the larynx and pharynx. Level III is not further subdivided by the new nomenclature because, despite being the largest of the jugular levels, there is little variation in its draining area.

Level IV Level IV refers to the lower jugular group of nodes. This is a small area, which again drains the larynx and hypopharynx. Attempts have been made to subdivide this area but have not been successful owing to its small size.

Level V This is the posterior triangle group of nodes and drains the other lymphatic regions in the neck. It has been divided into subzones. The Va lies superior to the inferior belly of the omohyoid muscle and the Vb level is inferior to the omohyoid muscle. The Va area contains the chain of nodes along the accessory nerve, which drain the nasopharynx. The Vb level contains nodes related to the thyrocervical trunk which drains the thyroid gland.

Level VI and VII Level VI : This is the anterior or central group of nodes. This includes the paratracheal, perithyroidal and Delphian nodes. Level VII : This corresponds to the superior mediastinal tissues. It is not recognized by most American texts.
