Although, the accessory nerve is the 11th cranial nerve, we will discuss here the spinal component due to its importance in nerve injuries and repair. The spinal accessory nerve arises from the upper cervical spinal cord (C1–C5), ascends between the dentate ligament and the posterior cervical rootlets, then through the foramen magnum joins the cranial ...

Spinal Accessory Nerve Function following Neck Dissection
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1988Spinal accessory nerve (SAN) function was evaluated by electromyography (EMG) and muscle testing in 36 patients who underwent neck dissection with SAN preservation. The results emphasized that SAN function was relatively good after conservative neck surgery. Muscle testing findings showed better function than did EMC findings.

Sensory pathways in the spinal accessory nerve
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1999We 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.

The glossopharyngeal, vagus and spinal accessory nerves
European Journal of Radiology, 2010The glossopharyngeal, vagus and spinal accessory nerves are closely related anatomically, and to a certain extent, functionally. We present an overview of their anatomy, highlighting the important clinical and imaging implications. The main pathologic lesions arising from these nerves are also discussed and the imaging features reviewed.

Spinal accessory nerve in radical neck dissections
The American Journal of Surgery, 1969Abstract Two hundred fifty radical neck dissections performed in 208 patients from January 1960 through December 1964 are reviewed. The spinal accessory nerve was sacrificed in the course of the dissection in 161 and was preserved in 89. Five patients died in the immediate postoperative period.

Cranial Nerve XI: Spinal Accessory
2017The eleventh cranial nerve, the spinal accessory nerve (CN XI), is the only cranial nerve whose origins must be searched for outside the foramen magnum at the level of the cervical spinal level. Its anatomical course, function, pathology and major clinical syndromes are described.

Spinal accessory nerve function after neck dissections
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2006The aim of this study was to evaluate spinal accessory nerve function after functional neck dissection (FND) and radical neck dissection (RND) by monitoring the nerve with electromyographic (EMG) examinations. A prospective, double-blind, clinical study was undertaken in 21 patients (42 neck side dissections) operated on for head and neck malignant ...

Surgical treatment for spinal accessory nerve injury
Microsurgery, 2006AbstractWe report on the surgical results of spinal accessory nerve injuries between 1992–2003. We operated on 10 patients (9 female, and 1 male) who had injuries of the spinal accessory nerve. All injuries were iatrogenic. The mean age of patients was 39.2 years (range, 20–57 years). The average interval between date of injury and surgery was 7 months

Iatrogenic spinal accessory nerve injury in children
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2008Injury to the spinal accessory nerve in the posterior triangle of the neck results in trapezius paralysis and shoulder dysfunction. The most common etiology is iatrogenic and has been reported extensively in adults. We report 3 cases of spinal accessory nerve injury recognized postoperatively in children and discuss the microsurgical treatment, results,

Spinal Accessory Nerve Entrapment
2016The spinal accessory nerve, the 11th cranial nerve, innervates the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles. It has a long superficial course in the neck, which makes it prone to injury with neck trauma or surgical interventions. Patients will present with weakness of the innervated muscles, myofascial pain, winged scapula, and shoulder pain.
