Spinal nerves

Abstract The human body contains 12 cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal nerves. Spinal nerves carry motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body. They correspond to a segment of the vertebral column: 8 cervical pairs (C1–C8), 12 thoracic pairs (T1–T12), 5 lumbar pairs (L1–L5), 5 sacral pairs (S1–S5), and 1

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 ...

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 ...

Spinal Nerve Stimulation

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 1994
Spinal nerve stimulation has proven useful in determining the diagnosis and prognosis in a wide variety of injuries and diseases involving the peripheral and central nervous systems. This article presents techniques of electric and magnetic stimulation of spinal nerves, provides supporting normative data, and discusses the clinical conditions for which

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 nerve sheath myxoma (neurothekeoma)

Pathology International, 2006
Nerve sheath myxoma (NSM) is a rare, benign tumor of predominantly cutaneous location. They usually arise from small cutaneous nerves in the head, neck, and extremities, but exceptionally they arise from spinal nerve roots. Only three cases of intraspinal NSM have been reported. Herein is describe two additional cases of spinal NSM.

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 ...

Hemangioma of spinal nerve root

Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 1999
Object. Hemangiomas of the spinal nerve roots are rare. Only 12 cases have been reported in the literature, all since 1965. These lesions occurred in adults, primarily in males, and were located in the cauda equina. Of the 12 lesions, eight were cavernous hemangiomas. The authors report here the clinicopathological features of 10 cases of hemangioma of

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.

Lumbar Spinal Nerve Lateral Entrapment

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1982
In past years, lumbar nerve lateral entrapment seldom has been diagnosed. A presumptive preoperative diagnosis has been made based on clinical findings and radiographs demonstrating disc resorption. The Computed Tomography scan has made it possible to diagnose the lesion with certainty and accuracy.
