The use of regional anaesthesia techniques in the presence of degenerative neurological disease is a relative contraindication. The subsequent reticence of anaesthesiologists is perhaps reflected in the absence of any published cases of a CharcotMarie-Tooth (CMT) patient that received a peripheral nerve blockade for surgery. We report a CMT patient, who presented with a supracondylar distal hum...

Background: The supraclavicular approach to brachialplexus block (SCB) is indicated for operations of upper extremity distal the shoulder; infraclavicular (ICB) arm, elbow, wrist, and hand. Objective study was compare brachial plexus with in limb surgeries using peripheral nerve stimulator.Methods: This prospective conducted among 78 patients, 39 each group block, posted various on elective or ...

Irritation of neural structures, specifically the brachial plexus outside of the cervical spine is capable of producing pain in the upper extremity. These pain patterns may be similar to pain originating from the cervical spine, presenting a diagnostic challenge. Brachial plexus block is performed at multiple levels, including interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, and axillary. Inters...
