Iatrogenic injury to the accessory nerve

Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery, 2007
We describe two patients with uncommon causes of iatrogenic injuries and review the anatomy, presentation, possibilities of repair, and results. The incidence of such nerve injuries during lymph node biopsies is 3%-10%, but the diagnosis is often delayed. Symptoms are shoulder pain and inability to abduct the arm beyond the horizontal plane.

Ultrasonography of the Accessory Nerve

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2002
Objective. To determine feasibility of ultrasonography in detecting the normal accessory nerve as well as pathologic changes in cases of accessory nerve palsy. Methods. Four patients with accessory nerve palsy were investigated by ultrasonography. Three cases of accessory nerve palsy after lymph node biopsy and neck dissection were primarily diagnosed ...

Intraspinal schwannoma of the accessory nerve

British Journal of Neurosurgery, 1999
The second example of a schwannoma originating from the cervical portion of the accessory nerve is reported. The tumour was diagnosed by MRI and confirmed by surgery. The tumour was small and was located entirely within the cervical subarachnoid space without causing any detectable neurological deficit.

Schwannoma of the spinal accessory nerve

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 1998
The authors report a case of a schwannoma originating from the spinal root of the accessory nerve. The patient was a 40-year-old woman with chronic headache and blurred vision. A neurological examination failed to reveal any abnormal findings except for papilloedema.

The accessory phrenic nerve in the rat

Anatomy and Embryology, 1977
Reinnervation studies of the diaphragm led us to reinvestigate the normal anatomy of the phrenic nerve of the rat. The phrenic nerve originates from the cervical nerve roots C4 and C5. In 16 out of 19 normal rats an accessory phrenic nerve was observed receiving its segmental fibres from C6. The number of myelinated axons of the accessory phrenic nerve

The accessory deep peroneal nerve

Journal of Neurology, 1975
The innervation of the right M. extensor digitorum brevis was investigated in 52 subjects with the aid of stimulation electromyography. In 13 cases (25%) a particular branch of the superficial branch of the peroneal nerve, the accessory deep peroneal nerve, could be identified. In 1 case it alone, and in 12 cases, together with the deep peroneal nerve,

Accessory Nerve

Archives of Neurology, 1968
NERVE conduction studies are a valuable clinical tool in the localization and diagnosis of peripheral nerve lesions. Many of the cranial nerves are too deeply situated for the clinical application of this test. However, two cranial nerves can be rather easily studied: the seventh and the eleventh.

Isolated Accessory Nerve Palsy

Southern Medical Journal, 1979
Accessory nerve palsy is either idiopathic or secondary to local trauma, infection, or tumor. The discomfort and disability produced as a result of trapezius weakness may be significant. The clinical features and management of accessory nerve palsy have been discussed.

Accessory Branch of the Mental Nerve

Journal of Endodontics, 2000
This case report presents a surgical case in which an accessory branch of the mental nerve exited the mandible distal and slightly superior to the mental foramen. Careful manipulation of the surgical site allowed proper identification of the mental nerve, and the accessory branch and permanent nerve damage was avoided.

The accessory nerve nucleus in the baboon

The Anatomical Record, 1986
AbstractIn the savanna baboon, Papio cynocephalus, the accessory nerve nucleus was identified by using a mixture of 20% free horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and 2.5% HRP conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) in a 5% aqueous detergent solution (Nonidet P‐40).
