Spinal Accessory Nerve Lesions

Seminars in Neurology, 2009
The spinal accessory nerve, primarily a motor nerve, innervates the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles. Proximally, lesions can occur intracranially at the skull base or just outside the jugular foramen producing ipsilateral weakness of trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles; or distally, in the posterior neck triangle causing trapezius ...

Accessory Spinal Nerve Injury

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1975
In 7 cases of peripheral lesion of the spinal accessory nerve 4 were produced by malignancy, two by iatrogenical resection of lymph nodes, one by an en bloc dissection of the neck for arteriovenous malformation. Incapacity following the injury is quite marked and includes weakness of the sternomastoid and trapezius muscles, as well as pain presumably ...

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.

Postirradiation neuromyotonia of spinal accessory nerves

Neurology, 2011
Neuromyotonia is a rare complication of radiation therapy.1 Most reported cases involve oculomotor muscles1,2 and occur months to decades after radiation therapy. Neuromyotonia is characterized by transient involuntary tonic contractions, which occur either spontaneously or are triggered by movements, with delayed relaxation of affected muscles.3,–,5 ...

Stretch‐induced spinal accessory nerve palsy

Muscle & Nerve, 1988
AbstractLeft spinal accessory nerve palsy occurred in a young man when he quickly turned his head to the right while his shoulders were pulled down by heavy hand‐held objects. Electrophysiologic studies demonstrated partial axonotmesis of the spinal accessory nerve branches innervating the sternocleidomastoid and upper and middle trapezius and complete

Combined Radial to Axillary and Spinal Accessory Nerve (SAN) to Suprascapular Nerve (SSN) Transfers May Confer Superior Shoulder Abduction Compared with Single SA to SSN Transfer.

World Neurosurgery, 2019
BACKGROUND The restoration of shoulder function after brachial plexus injury is a high priority. Shoulder abduction and stabilization can be achieved by nerve transfer procedures including spinal accessory nerve (SAN) to suprascapular nerve (SSN) and ...

Spinal Accessory Nerve Injury

2018
Spinal accessory nerve (SAN) injuries can be idiopathic or iatrogenic. Providers who understand the essential anatomy of the SAN can direct the history, physical exam, and ancillary studies to localize the lesion, while considering the differential diagnosis.

Reconstruction of the spinal accessory nerve with selective fascicular nerve transfer of the upper trunk.

Journal of Neurosurgery : Spine, 2019
Objective Spinal accessory nerve palsy is frequently caused by iatrogenic damage during neck surgery in the posterior triangle of the neck. Due to late presentation, treatment regularly necessitates nerve grafts, which often results in a poor outcome of ...
