Perhaps the reason for this can be explained by the greater degree of collateral nerve supply to the angle of the mandible from the lesser occipital nerve posteriorly and from the transverse cutaneous nerve of the neck; both of these nerves derive from the second and third cervical nerves, as does the great auricular nerve. The long thoracic nerve is a motor nerve that typically arises from the cervical nerve roots of C-5, C-6, and C-7. According to Green (1988), electromyographic studies are necessary in order to differentiate CTS from thoracic nerve conditions or compression of the lower cervical nerve roots. |
