"The deep cervical fascia was historically defined in contrast to the superficial cervical fascia, the latter of which primarily includes the platysma and subcutaneous fat and vessels. However, as with other fascia in the body, use of the terminology of the superficial cervical fascia has declined in favour of "subcutaneous tissue" 4. Thus, an unspecified reference to cervical fascia mainly refers to the deep cervical fascia."
