Abstract:

Learning the clinical anatomy of spinal accessory nerve and its relevant structures is extremely important during neck dissection. In recent years, research results of anatomical variations in spinal accessory nerve, internal jugular vein and cervical nerves have been constantly updated. Thus, spinal accessory nerve imaging and whether to reserve level Ⅱb and cervical nerves can contribute to significantly reducing postoperative complications, such as shoulder syndrome.

Key words: spinal accessory nerve, internal jugular vein, level Ⅱb;, cervical nerves
