During educational dissections we observed a phrenic ganglion on the nerve of the phrenic artery originating from the upper pole of the right coeliac ganglion, which accompanied the right inferior phrenic artery on a female cadaver at the age of 34. In our case the left coeliac ganglion, the inferior phrenic artery, the right and left greater, lesser and least splanchnic nerves were present and normal. However, the left nerve of the phrenic artery and the phrenic ganglion were absent. We consider that this rarely reported neural formation may be of importance for anatomists and clinicians.
