The accessory nerve, also known as the eleventh cranial nerve, cranial nerve XI, or simply CN XI,
Is a cranial nerve that supplies the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles.
The spinal accessory nerve is a purely motor entity.
Load-bearing fixation is indicated for open surgical treatment in all types of complex fractures in the mandibular body (comminuted, chronically infected simple fractures, segmental defects, and fractures of the edentulous atrophic mandible).
The ophthalmic nerve and maxillary nerve travel lateral to the cavernous sinus exiting the cranium via the superior orbital fissure and foramen rotundum respectively. The mandibular nerve exits via the foramen ovale entering the infra-temporal fossa.
