Abstract

Spinal accessory nerve palsy commonly occurs as a result of iatrogenic injury, usually during lymph node excision in the posterior cervical triangle. Numerous alternative etiologies are described. Trauma is the most common cause of non-iatrogenic palsy. Sometimes, the cause of the palsy cannot be identified. Here, we report four atypical cases of isolated spinal accessory nerve palsy leading to trapezius muscle dysfunction. In one patient, accessory nerve palsy developed after reduction mammaplasty and abdominoplasty surgery (Case 1). One of them experienced a stretch injury due to weight lifting (Case 2). In one patient, a clear reason could not be identified (Case 3). In a 12-year-old girl, accessory nerve palsy was caused by her heavy school bag (Case 4). All three segments of trapezius muscle were involved in all cases, except for the case 1 who had only the upper segment involvement. The patients were followed clinically and electrophysiologically for 24-30 months. Both cases 1 and 2 showed complete recovery within six months, whereas cases 3 and 4 showed incomplete recovery. The clinical similarities and differences, and also the neurophysiological findings of cases are discussed in this paper. Our long-term follow-up findings may help us to understand the mechanism and the natural course of the accessory nerve palsies.

Özet

Spinal aksesuar sinir felci genellikle posterior servikal lenf nodu eksizyonu sırasında iatrojenik olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Birçok farklı etiyolojiler tanımlanmıştır. Travma, iatrojenik olmayan aksesuar sinir felçlerinin en sık sebebidir. Bazen de felcin nedeni belirlenemeyebilir. Bu çalışmada, trapez kası disfonksiyonu olan dört atipik izole aksesuar sinir felci olgusu sunulmaktadır. Bir olguda, aksesuar sinir felci göğüs küçültme ve abdominoplasti operasyonundan sonra ortaya çıkmıştı (Olgu 1). Bir olgu ise ağır kaldırmaya bağlı gerilme yaralanmasıydı (Olgu 2). Bir hastada ise net bir sebep ortaya konamadı (Olgu 3). On iki yaşında bir kız çocuğunda ise aksesuar sinir felci, ağır sırt çantasına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkmıştı (Olgu 4). Üç hastada trapez kasının her üç segmenti de etkilenmişken bir hastada sadece üst segment etkilenmişti. Hastalar klinik ve elektrofizyolojik olarak 24-30 ay süresince izlendiler. Birinci ve 2. olgular altı ay içinde tam düzelme gösterirken 3 ve 4. olgular kısmi düzelme gösterdi. Burada, olguların klinik benzerlikleri, farklılıkları ve ayrıca nörofizyolojik özellikleri tartışılmıştır. Uzun süreli takip bulgularımız, aksesuar sinir felcinin mekanizmasını ve doğal seyrini daha iyi anlamamıza yardım edebilecektir.
