Abstract

The ganglion impar is a solitary neural structure located anterior to the sacrococcygeal joint (SCJ). It represents the fusion of the caudal end of the bilateral sympathetic chains. The ganglion impar innervates the perineum, distal rectum, anal canal, distal urethra, scrotum, distal third of the vagina, and the vulva [1, 2].
