Brachial plexus injury mimicking a spinal-cord injury
OBJECTIVE High-energy impact to the head, neck, and shoulder can result in cervical spine as well as brachial plexus injuries. Because cervical spine injuries are more common, this tends to be the initial focus for management. We present a case in which the initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was somewhat misleading and a detailed neurological exam lead to the correct diagnosis. CLINICA...
متن کاملChanges in spinal cord architecture after brachial plexus injury in the newborn.
Obstetric brachial plexus palsy is a devastating birth injury. While many children recover spontaneously, 20-25% are left with a permanent impairment of the affected limb. So far, concepts of pathology and recovery have focused on the injury of the peripheral nerve. Proximal nerve injury at birth, however, leads to massive injury-induced motoneuron loss in corresponding motoneuron pools and the...
متن کاملBrachial plexus injury after median sternotomy.
Serious brachial plexus injury after median sternotomy is uncommon. However, affected patients experience considerable morbidity and their return to regular employment is often delayed. The pathogenesis of the injury is multifactorial. Wide sternal retraction is the major etiologic factor. Management is primarily conservative and should be guided by a team experienced in upper limb and hand sur...
متن کاملEvoked spinal cord potentials for diagnosis during brachial plexus surgery.
We used evoked spinal cord potentials (ESCP) for intraoperative diagnosis in 17 cases of traumatic brachial plexus palsy. Forty spinal nerves were directly stimulated during exploration of the brachial plexus and ESCP recorded from the cervical epidural space were compared with simultaneously observed somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and myelographic findings. Both SEP and ESCP could be ev...
متن کاملCombined injuries of the brachial plexus and spinal cord.
A total of 11 patients with combined traumatic injuries of the brachial plexus and spinal cord were reviewed retrospectively. Brachial plexus paralysis in such dual injuries tends to be diagnosed and treated late and the prognosis is usually poor. The associated injuries, which were all on the same side as the plexus lesion, were to the head (nine cases), shoulder girdle (five), thorax (nine) a...
