Sensory pathways in the spinal accessory nerve
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1999 We obtained samples of spinal accessory nerve from patients undergoing radical surgery for tumours or nerve grafting in the neck. These were analysed by light and electron microscopy for the type of fibre. All contained fibres consistent with non-proprioceptive sensory function including pain.
