ABSTRACT
The spinal accessory nerve is well known to be injured by surgical procedures in the posterior cervical triangle. The trapezius muscle innervated by the spinal accessory nerve is a major scapular stabilizer, so the paralysis of this muscle results in shoulder droop, limited range of motion, and displacement of scapula as well as shoulder pain. Spinal accessory neuropathy from a local surgical procedure may begin immediately. We experienced three spinal accessory neuropathy cases with delayed onset after local surgical procedures.
