3 The brachial plexus 3.1 Anatomy The brachial plexus is the intertwining group of nerves coursing through the neck, shoulder, and axilla. The brachial plexus is derived from the distal root components in the neck and extends into the axilla. As it courses through the shoulder and upper arm,...
Brachial plexusCross-sectional anatomySonoanatomyBackground: The application of ultrasound (US) in peripheral nerve blocks has increased substantially during the last 15 years. However, this technique may have some drawbacks, one of which is the need of a high level of experience of the ...
arrangement of the plexus makes detailed anatomical knowledge essential to a complete ultrasound study. Ultrasound with its dynamic multiplanar high resolution capabilities allows the examiner to transform the acquired two-dimensional (2-D) anatomy into a more comprehensible three-dimensional (3-D) ...
Imaging the brachial plexus is challenging because of the complex anatomy of the region and the wide variety of pathology that can affect it. For the purpose of imaging, it is helpful to divide traumatic and nontraumatic entities affecting the brachial plexus. Improvements in imaging technology, ...
Restoration of hand function after total brachial plexus root avulsion (tBPRA) is a difficult problem in surgical management. A new modified approach in repairing tBPRA is to use a subcutaneous tunnel across the anterior surface of the chest and neck, and then transfer the contralateral C7 root...
The phrenic nerve passes near the interscalene space over the ventral surface of the anterior scalene muscle, and has its origin in the cervical plexus at C3-5. It is therefore possible to block it either by anaesthetic solution diffusing through the muscle or more likely by bathing the roots...
The anatomy of the brachial plexus region is complex, with major structures such as nerves and blood vessels overlapping and crossing each other [1]. Compression of normal organs and neovascularization by brachial plexus tumors adds further complexity to this region, making the management of these ...
