Abstract in brief

  • The study found that a cranial root of the accessory nerve exists in most adult human cadavers, with 76 out of 86 sides showing its presence.
  • These cranial roots typically consist of about 16 rootlets averaging 4.5 mm in length and 0.7 mm in diameter, generally more numerous and larger on the right side and in males, although not significantly.
  • The findings support the idea that the cranial root is a common anatomical feature, which is important for neurosurgical procedures and imaging, despite some controversy and debate in previous research.
