On the basis of the above findings, it was possible to diagnose Schmidtsyndrome due to idiopathic accessory nerve palsy. A trial of conservative treatment for a year produced a significant improvement.[jstage.jst.go.jp]
After apparently uncomplicated excision of benign lesions in the posterior cervical triangle, two patients had shoulderpain. In one, neck pain and trapezius weakness were not prominent until one month after surgery.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This case report suggests that isolated spinal accessory nerve palsy should be considered in cases of shoulderpain or weakness after CABG, and conservative treatment is recommended if palsy develops.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report the case of a collegiate swimmer who developed left-sided neck and shoulderpain secondary to a spinal accessory nerve palsy (SANP) after a "whiplash injury," which we believe to be the first such reported case in the English language literature[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This should be considered whenever such patients complain postoperatively of ipsilateral shoulderpain/weakness or “aching” about the ear, even if some time has elapsed since surgery. 1992 by AAN Enterprises, Inc.[neurology.org]
Long-term, SAN palsy can lead to loss of muscle function, adhesive capsulitis (frozenshoulder), rotator cuff impingement, and pain. All of these side effects can greatly affect a person’s activities of daily living and quality of life.[oncolink.org]

The another simple exercise to help raise your arm with a 'frozenshoulder' is the finger walking up the wall that mastectomy patients use. I've seen significant improvement noted by other club members who have tried these easy suggestions.[webwhispers.org]
A full passive range of motion may eventually progress to decreased passive range of motion due to adhesive capsulitis ( frozenshoulder ). The ipsilateral shoulder may droop.[emedicine.medscape.com]

If new symptoms or significant worsening of existing symptoms occurs, neuroimaging, electrodiagnostics, or surgical referral should be considered. 8 Patients who have multiple occurrences of stingers should also have a more thorough workup, because they[aafp.org]

Four patients were referred to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital with iatrogenic accessory nerve palsy because their symptoms were severe enough to warrant surgical treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment The treatment of spinal accessory nerve palsy includes physical therapy as the main conservative or non-surgical component. For patients not responding to the conservative methods, surgery is considered for them.[mistysurimd.com]
If disabling pain and inability to fully elevate the arm overhead is present surgery should be considered once non-operative treatments have failed (physiotherapy and pain-killers).[shoulderdoc.co.uk]
A surgical reconstruction was proposed as the most efficient treatment, but our patient declined this.[scienceopen.com]
The prognosis was better following blunt trauma, stretch injuries and after a spontaneous onset. The anatomical relationships of the accessory nerve and aspects of the clinical picture and management are discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Early identification of SANP can assist with the prognosis, explain persistent impairments and functional deficits, motivate appropriate diagnostic testing and interventions, and help maximize outcome.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Usually the prognosis for recovery from a neuropraxia and an idiopathic lesion of the N. thoracicus longus within a two-year period is good. The prognosis for an isolated lesion of the N. accessorius is much less favourable.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
EMG testing can help guide prognosis, direct conservative and surgical treatment, and reduce patient morbidity.[content.iospress.com]
Various rare etiological factors were also described. Whatever the etiology, the typical clinical features of SAN palsy can be listed as atrophy/weakness of the trapezius muscle and moderate winging of the scapula.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The signs and symptoms of spinal accessory nerve palsy and its etiology are discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A simple clinical and etiologic classification of the winged scapula is proposed based on the study of these patients in conjunction with a review of the literature. Winging of the scapula is either static or dynamic.[scienceopen.com]
While clinical features usually allow for a diagnosis to be made, further investigation is often warranted to determine the specific etiology. Treatment depends on the underlying etiology.[amboss.com]

The neurotoxin consists of molecules that bind to nerve endings and prevent the release of stimulating neurotransmitters. This means the nerve signal is blocked from reaching the muscle, and hence the muscles no longer contract.[umanitoba.ca]
Bilateral weakness may prevent the patient from lifting their head off a pillow and the head may be inclined posteriorly for lack of flexor tone. Bilateral weakness suggests muscle or neuromuscular disease.[dartmouth.edu]
