Initial clinical evaluation revealed proximal arm weakness consistent with an upper trunk injury. Unlike MRI or CT myelography that focus on proximal nerve roots, ultrasonography of the brachial plexus in the supraclavicular fossa was able to demonstrate a small neuroma involving the upper trunk (C-5...
The structures most commonly affected in adults with a brachial plexus injury (BPI) are the spinal nerve roots1. Dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, including imaging in multiple planes with different sequences) is the best non-invasive test for diagnosing root injury although it misclassifie...
Informed consent statement: We received an IRB waiver from the Institutional review board since this was a retrospective observational study, utilizing MRI scans made strictly for clinical purposes. MRIs were all anonymized by the Radiology department before conducting our study. See the attached IRB ...
MRI is the primary imaging modality used to diagnose the cause of brachial plexopathy. This unit presents protocols to diagnose the cause of brachial plexus. The provides the core component of this procedure and an alternate protocol is presented for the case of avulsion injury from trauma. A ...
Brachial plexus traumatic root injury in adults: Role of different non contrast MRI sequences in pre-operative assessmentPurpose To evaluate the role of real-time sonoelastography (UE) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value measurement in differentiating benign versus malignant enlarged neck ...
InjuryMRP, multiplanar reformationMagnetic resonance imagingOBPP, obstetric brachial plexus palsySTIR, short tau inversion recoveryThe most common indications for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brachial plexus (BP) are traumatic injuries. The role of MRI of the BP has increased because of ...
The objective of this presentation is to display the sites of landmark anatomy compressing the brachial plexus that decreases venous return supply to the nerves causing a shortage of oxygen and glucose needed for cellular metabolism causing fibrosis and scarring of the soft tissues marginating the ...
