[Treatment of trapezius paralysis by transfer of the levator scapulae].
The authors present a technique of palliative treatment of trapezius paralysis after injury to the spinal accessory nerve. The transfer of the levator scapulae associated, or not, with the rhomboid minor allows regression of functional signs and a return to normal function of the shoulder. Five cases are exposed, with results ranging from 3 months to 15 years.
