The X-pointer: A forgotten anatomical relationship of spinal accessory nerve and great auricular nerve.

Surgical oncology, 2021
INTRODUCTION The preservation of the spinal accessory nerve cannot be overlooked in neck dissection. Injury to the nerve results in shoulder dysfunction and other related morbidities.

Pathological findings identified during the posterior approach to the spinal accessory nerve after high-energy trauma

Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2021
The spinal accessory to suprascapular nerve transfer is a key procedure for restoring shoulder function in upper brachial plexus injuries and is typically undertaken via an anterior approach.

Spinal Accessory Nerve Injury

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1999
Injury to the spinal accessory nerve can lead to dysfunction of the trapezius. The trapezius is a major scapular stabilizer and is composed of three functional components. It contributes to scapulothoracic rhythm by elevating, rotating, and retracting the scapula.

Traumatic Spinal Accessory Nerve Palsy

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 1998
Spinal accessory nerve sections due to a purely traumatic origin are very rare. The authors report a case in which a total section of the spinal accessory nerve was observed after a glass-penetrating injury. The primary lesion was undiagnosed, and only late physical examination revealed a scapula alata with a deficiency in shoulder protrusion and ...

Spinal accessory nerve cavernous malformation

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2010
We present the first reported case of a spinal accessory nerve cavernous malformation. A 54-year-old Caucasian male presented with a several-year history of progressive, vague bilateral upper and lower extremity paresthesias and pain. MRI of the spine revealed a heterogenously enhancing mass in the dorsal aspect of the spinal canal at the level of the ...

Functioning Free Muscle Transfer for Brachial Plexus Injury: A Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis Comparing Functional Outcomes of Intercostal Nerve and Spinal Accessory Nerve Grafts

Journal of reconstructive microsurgery, 2020
Background The aim of this study was to compare postoperative elbow flexion outcomes in patients receiving functioning free muscle transplantation (FFMT) innervated by either intercostal nerve (ICN) or spinal accessory nerve (SAN) grafts.

Extracranial Spinal Accessory Nerve Injury

Neurosurgery, 1993
Eighty-three consecutive patients with extracranial accessory nerve injury seen over a 12-year period are reviewed. The most common etiology was iatrogenic injury to the nerve at the time of previous surgery. Such operations were usually minor in nature and often related to lymph node or benign tumor removal.

In-Depth Look at the Anatomical Relationship of the Lesser Occipital Nerve, Great Auricular Nerve, and Spinal Accessory Nerve and Their Implication in Safety of Operations in the Posterior Triangle of the Neck

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2020
Background: Migraine surgery is an increasingly popular treatment option for migraine patients. The lesser occipital nerve is a common trigger point for headache abnormalities, but there is a paucity of research regarding the lesser occipital nerve and ...

The extent of brachial plexus injury: an important factor in spinal accessory nerve to suprascapular nerve transfer outcomes

British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2020
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the association between extent of brachial plexus injury and shoulder abduction/external rotation outcomes after spinal accessory nerve (SAN) to suprascapular nerve (SSN) transfer.

The Effect of Distal Transfer of the Spinal Accessory Nerve to the Suprascapular Nerve on the Shoulder Reanimation in Spontaneously Partially Recovered Obstetric Brachial Plexus Lesion

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2020
Background Spontaneous recovery of elbow flexion in obstetric brachial plexus palsy at 4 to 6 months of age is sufficient to exclude the child from the early microsurgical intervention.
