The segmental and topographical organization of motoneurons of the spinal accessory nerve was studied in monkeys with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The sternomastoid muscle is innervated primarily from the C1-C2 level of the cord and the motor column is medial in the ventral horn. The trapezius muscle, however, is innervated primarily from the C2-C3-C4 levels of the cord and the motor column lies in the ventrolateral region of the ventral horn. The data are discussed with regard to treatment of torticollis.

A 6-year-old girl had a 7-month history of headaches and painful torticollis. A CT scan of the mastoids showed extensive bone destruction of the base of the skull and C-1. Biopsies of the retropharyngeal area and of the anterior aspect of C-1 were performed: histopathologic findings were suggestive of mycotic infection and cultures were positive for Candida albicans. The child was treated successfully with amphotericin B. The immunologic evaluation demonstrated the absence of myeloperoxidase in the neutrophils.
