A pseudoganglion is a localized thickening of the main part or trunk of a nerve that has the appearance of a ganglion but has only nerve fibers and no nerve cell bodies.

Ganglia provide relay points and intermediary connections between different neurological structures in the body, such as the 229:, which are bundled or connected. Ganglia often interconnect with other ganglia to form a complex system of ganglia known as a 779: 129: 338:
