Magnetic resonance myelography in brachial plexus injury.
We used magnetic resonance (MR) myelography in ten patients with injuries to the brachial plexus and compared the findings with those obtained by conventional myelography and postmyelographic CT (CTM). In the presence of complete nerve-root avulsion (seven cases), a post-traumatic meningocele was detected by MR myelography. In injuries to the upper roots (three cases) MR myelography showed abno...
متن کاملMyelography in the diagnosis and prognosis of brachial plexus injuries.
Diagram of a transverse section of the neck at the level of C.6, to demonstrate the origin and the course of the posterior branches of the spinal nerves. On the right side is shown intraforaminal avulsion of the spinal root. The electromyograph of the deep posterior neck muscles will show fibrillation potentials: an unfavourable prognosis. On the left side is shown extraforaminal damage of the ...
متن کاملThe diagnostic value of CT myelography, MR myelography, and both in neonatal brachial plexus palsy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although most infants with brachial plexus palsy recover function spontaneously, approximately 10-30% benefit from surgical treatment. Pre-operative screening for nerve root avulsions is helpful in planning reconstruction. Our aim was to compare the diagnostic value of CT myelography, MR myelography, and both against a surgical criterion standard for detection of complete...
متن کاملComputerized tomography myelography with coronal and oblique coronal view for diagnosis of nerve root avulsion in brachial plexus injury
BACKGROUND The authors describe a new computerized tomography (CT) myelography technique with coronal and oblique coronal view to demonstrate the status of the cervical nerve rootlets involved in brachial plexus injury. They discuss the value of this technique for diagnosis of nerve root avulsion compared with CT myelography with axial view. METHODS CT myelography was performed with penetrati...
متن کاملMR imaging of birth-related brachial plexus avulsion.
Imaging of the brachial plexus in infants and young children with birth-related brachial palsy may become more frequent in view of recent renewed interest in the surgical repair of these injuries [1). The usefulness of MR for imaging the brachial plexus has been described recently [2, 3). MR may provide an alternative, noninvasive means of studying patients with obstetric palsy. To our knowledg...
