Address for Correspondence: Dr. Deepti Arora, Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, MMIMSR, Mullana, Ambala, Haryana, India, contact no.08059931294, E-Mail: [email protected] Background and Objectives: Looking to the applied significance of lumbar plexus in the form of its involvement in various injuries and entrapment, it is imperative to have a thorough knowledge about its format...

PURPOSE To report outcome of axillary nerve neurotisation for brachial plexus injury through the anterior deltopectoral approach. METHODS Nine men aged 20 to 52 (mean, 27.8) years with brachial plexus injury underwent axillary nerve neurotisation through the anterior deltopectoral approach. Three of the patients had complete avulsion of C5-T1 nerve roots. The remaining 6 patients had brachial...

Phrenic nerve palsy can occur in the context of neonatal brachial plexus palsy, yet neither outcomes nor definitive treatment guidelines have been established. Diaphragmatic paralysis alone in the newborn results in significant respiratory sequelae and failure to thrive. Reviewing the available literature revealed little information about the incidence of phrenic nerve palsy associated with neo...

Neurolymphomatosis is a rare manifestation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by infiltration of peripheral nerves, nerve roots, plexus and cranial nerves by malignant lymphocytes. This report presents positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)imaging with 2-deoxy-2-(18)F-fluoro-D-glucose ((18)F-FDG) in 3 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with nerve infiltration, including one new...

Cadherins, being responsible for selective cell recognition and normal tissue integrity in adults, regulate morphogenesis in a variety of organs during development. In this study, anti-rat pan-cadherin antibody, specific to all subgroups of the cadherin family, was used to map the distribution of the pan-cadherin immunoreactivity in adult rat organs. Pan-cadherin immunoreactivity positive tissu...

The brachial plexus is formed by the ventral rami of the lower four cervical and first thoracic spinal nerves, with a variable contribution from C4 and T2. All the nerves of the brachial plexus are formed and remain in two planes, anterior and posterior. The anterior plane comprises the branches of the lateral and medial cords of brachial plexus while the posterior plane comprises the branches ...

In this study the nerves originating from the plexus lumbosacrales of porcupines (Hystrix cristata) were investigated. Four porcupines (two males and two females) were used. The plexus lumbosacrales of animals were appropriately dissected and dissemination of pelvic limb nerves originating from the plexus lumbosacrales was examined. The nerves originated from the plexus lumbosacrales of porcupi...

The brachial plexus is formed by the union of the ventral rami of the inferior four cervical (C5-C8) and first thoracic (T1) nerves (Figure 1). The C5 nerve usually receives a small contribution from the fourth-cervical nerve and the T1 nerve normally receives one from the second thoracic nerve. The brachial plexus supplies cutaneous and muscular innervation to the upper limb(s) and any injury ...

We studied a consecutive series of 58 patients with penetrating missile injuries of the brachial plexus to establish the indications for exploration and review the results of operation. At a mean of 17 weeks after the initial injury, 51 patients were operated on for known or suspected vascular injury (16), severe persistent pain (35) or complete loss of function in the distribution of one or mo...

The rhesus monkey lung was stained both by histological methods and histochemically for specific acetylcholinesterase (AChE). AChE-containing nerves in bundles were demonstrated in connective tissue of the hilum and in association with clusters of ganglion cells. These bundles become associated with the bronchial tree as they enter the lung parenchyma, and their numbers of myelinated fibres dim...
