MRIpathologMagnetic resonance images (MRI) of brachial plexus anatomy bilaterally, not possible by plain radiographs or CT, were presented to the Vascular Surgery, Neurology, and the Neurosurgery departments. Patients were requested for MRI of their brachial plexus. They were referred for imaging and...
Neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) can be defined as a flaccid paresis of an upper extremity due to traumatic stretching of the brachial plexus, with the passive range of motion greater than the active. From: Practical Management of Pediatric and Adult Brachial Plexus Palsies, 2012 ...

Brachial plexus palsy is weakness or paralysis in parts of the arm due to injury. Learn about the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for this condition today.
Brachial plexus injury represents the most severe nerve injury of the extremities. While obstetric brachial plexus injury has showed a reduction in the number of cases due to the improvements in obstetric care, brachial plexus injury in the adult is an increasingly common clinical problem. The thera...
MRI of the brachial plexus can help to rule out carcinomatous or granulomatous infiltration, if clinically indicated. [9, 10] A shoulder radiograph may be indicated to rule out specific shoulder pathologies. Electrodiagnosis should be considered initially to confirm neuropathic diagnosis and to rule ...

[Perioperative brachial plexus injury caused by hyperabduction of the upper extremity in a patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in the prone position]. A 26-year-old woman with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) underwent posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation for scoliosis. General anesthesia was ...
Some of the currently used diagnostic modalities for damaged brachial plexus include: Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Neurography In the past, most doctors would use standardmagnetic resonance imaging (MRI)to localize the injury, specifically near the damaged nerve roots. However, without a 3-D ...
