N H Persson, and D Bergqvist

Department of Surgery, General Hospital, Malmö, Sweden.

Although cranial nerve injuries associated with carotid endarterectomy are well known, involvement of the accessory nerve is extremely rare. A case of partly reversible accessory nerve injury is described. Hitherto published cases are analyzed and possible pathogenetic mechanisms discussed.
