Περίληψη:
Aim of the present study is to expand our knowledge of the anatomy of
the 11th cranial nerve and discuss the clinical importance and
literature pertaining to accessory nerve duplication. We present one
case of duplicated spinal accessory nerve in a patient undergoing neck
dissection for oral cavity cancer. The literature review confirms the
extremely rare diagnosis of a duplicated accessory nerve. Its clinical
implication is of great importance. From this finding, a further
extension to our knowledge of the existing anatomy is proposed.
