Marked 8-cm midline incision in the caudal occipital region down into the superior neck. This extended incision was used to demonstrate the landmarks in this cadaveric specimen. A more limited 5-cm incision is typically sufficient to access all of the nerves in vivo. Marked anatomic location of GON 1.5-cm from the midline and 3.5-cm from the EAC (red), LON 6.5-cm from midline and 6-cm from the EAC (blue), TON 1.3-cm from midline and 6.2-cm from the EAC (green)
