The stellate ganglion (or cervicothoracic ganglion) is a sympathetic ganglion formed by the fusion of the inferior cervical ganglion and the first thoracic ganglion which exists in 80% of cases. Stellate ganglion is located at the level of C7 (7th cervical vertebrae) anterior to the transverse process of C7 superior to the neck of the first rib and just below the subclavian artery.
