Brachial plexus neuropathies after advanced laparoscopic surgery
Fertility and Sterility, 1993A retrospective review of 3,200 advanced laparoscopic procedures demonstrated five brachial plexus injuries during a 5-month period in 1986 (0.16% incidence rate). Brachial plexus injury can occur during laparoscopic surgery using steep Trendelenburg's position with shoulder braces and the patient's arm extended at 90 degrees. Position modification can

Archives of Neurology, 1980
Electromyographic data were analyzed in a retrospective study of 16 patients with idiopathic brachial plexus neuropathy (BPN) and 15 patients with secondary BPN. In both groups, abnormalities on sensory and musculocutaneous motor conduction studies and lack of paraspinal fibrillation potentials on needle examination seemed most helpful in localizing a ...

Childhood Brachial Plexus Neuropathy
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1980Sir. —We enjoyed reading the recent paper by Charles and Jayam-Trouth regarding brachial plexus neuropathy (BPN) in childhood (Journal134:299-300, 1980). We also have had experience with this disorder and agree that an infectious cause seems likely, particularly in patients with CSF pleocytosis.

RECURRENT BRACHIAL PLEXUS NEUROPATHY
Brain, 1975The clinical, electrophysiological and pathological changes in 3 patients with recurrent attacks of non-traumatic brachial plexus neuropathy have been described. Two had recurrent attacks and a dominant family history of similar attacks, together with evidence of lesser degrees of nerve involvement outside the brachial plexus.

BRACHIAL PLEXUS NEUROPATHY A long-term outcome study
The Journal of Hand Surgery: Journal of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand, 2000This retrospective study assessed the long-term outcome of brachial plexus neuropathy in 16 patients. The mean follow up was 8 years. Nine patients complained of persistent pain and muscle weakness, four had continuing problems with various activities of daily living and 11 had trouble with some housekeeping activities.

Brachial plexus neuropathy following mantle radiotherapy
Clinical Oncology, 1998We report two cases of presumed radiation-induced brachial plexus neuropathy in patients with lymphoma who were treated with standard mantle radiotherapy to a dose of 40 Gy in 20 fractions. Radiation-induced brachial plexopathy has not previously been reported following mantle irradiation at this dose. Both patients received chemotherapy in relapse. We

Chronic demyelinating hypertrophic brachial plexus neuropathy
Muscle & Nerve, 2000A patient with unilateral, painless, chronic progressive upper limb sensorimotor deficit showed electrophysiological evidence of a focal demyelinating neuropathy with almost complete conduction block across the brachial plexus. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed marked brachial plexus hypertrophy.
