The 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 کاملMagnetic 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 کاملThree-dimensional MR myelography of traumatic injuries of the brachial plexus.
PURPOSE To determine the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional MR myelography in the evaluation of traumatic injuries of the brachial plexus. METHODS Twenty patients with clinical and electromyographic evidence of traumatic brachial plexopathy were examined with three-dimensional MR myelography, conventional cervical myelography, and CT myelography 1 to 9 months after trauma. Three-dimensi...
متن کاملCauses of neonatal brachial plexus palsy.
The causes of brachial plexus palsy in neonates should be classified according to their most salient associated feature. The causes of brachial plexus palsy are obstetrical brachial plexus palsy, familial congenital brachial plexus palsy, maternal uterine malformation, congenital varicella syndrome, osteomyelitis involving the proximal head of the humerus or cervical vertebral bodies, exostosis...
