The structural and functional organization of the accessory nerve remains a subject of discussion in view of its structural features. The data presented in the educational literature require revision and clarification. Currently, a large number of publications have accumulated reflecting various manifestations of the individual variability of the branches of the accessory nerve. This review summarizes modern data that will allow us to form a more complete picture of the functional anatomy and morphological variability of the accessory nerve.
