Abstract
The glossopharyngeal, vagus, and accessory nerves are discussed in this article, given their intimate anatomical and functional associations. Abnormalities of these lower cranial nerves may be intrinsic or extrinsic due to various disease processes. This article aims to review these nerves' anatomy and demonstrates the imaging aspect of the diseases which most commonly affect them.
