The vestibular nerve ganglion (also called Scarpa's ganglion) is the ganglion of the vestibular nerve. It is located inside the internal auditory meatus.
The ganglion contains the cell bodies of the bipolar primary afferent neurons whose peripheral processes form synaptic contact with hair cells of the vestibular sensory end organs.
It is named for Antonio Scarpa.[1][2]
At birth, it is already close to its final size.[3]
