  2. Dorsal scapular nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_scapular_nerve

    Dorsal scapular nerve syndrome can be caused by nerve compression syndrome.A winged scapula is the most common symptom. [7] Shoulder pain may occur. [7] It causes weakness in rhomboid major muscle, rhomboid minor muscle, and levator scapulae muscle. [7]

  3. Levator scapulae muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levator_scapulae_muscle

    The levator scapulae is a slender [1]: 910 skeletal muscle situated at the back and side of the neck. It originates from the transverse processes of the four uppermost cervical vertebrae ; it inserts onto the upper portion of the medial border of the scapula .

  4. Accessory nerve disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_nerve_disorder

    There are several options of treatment when iatrogenic (i.e., caused by the surgeon) spinal accessory nerve damage is noted during surgery. For example, during a functional neck dissection that injures the spinal accessory nerve, injury prompts the surgeon to cautiously preserve branches of C2, C3, and C4 spinal nerves that provide supplemental innervation to the trapezius muscle. [3]

  5. Posterior triangle of the neck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_triangle_of_the_neck

    Damage results in an inability to shrug the shoulders or raise the arm above the head, particularly due to compromised trapezius muscle innervation. The external jugular vein's superficial location within the posterior triangle also makes it vulnerable to injury.

  6. Spasmodic torticollis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spasmodic_torticollis

    Laterocollis is the tilting of the head from side to side. This is the "ear-to-shoulder" version. This involves many more muscles: ipsilateral sternocleidomastoid, ipsilateral splenius, ipsilateral scalene complex, ipsilateral levator scapulae, and ipsilateral posterior paravertebrals. The flexion of the neck (head tilts forwards) is anterocollis.

  7. Eden–Lange procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eden–Lange_procedure

    The dorsal scapular nerve is at risk for intraoperative injury when detaching the rhomboid and levator scapulae insertions due to its proximity to the medial scapular border. [15] This is of particular concern because the dorsal scapular nerve innervates all three muscles transferred in the Eden–Lange procedure. [citation needed]

  8. Shoulder impingement syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_impingement_syndrome

    The scapula plays an important role in shoulder impingement syndrome. [8] It is a wide, flat bone lying on the posterior thoracic wall that provides an attachment for three different groups of muscles. The intrinsic muscles of the scapula include the muscles of the rotator cuff- the subscapularis, infraspinatus, teres minor and supraspinatus. [9]

  9. Cervical plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_plexus

    They are located laterally to the transverse processes between prevertebral muscles from the medial side and vertebral (m. scalenus, m. levator scapulae, m. splenius cervicis) from lateral side. There is anastomosis with accessory nerve, hypoglossal nerve and sympathetic trunk. It is located in the neck, deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle. [5]
