Brachial Plexus Neuropathy

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 ...

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1980
Sir. —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, 1975
The 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 following mantle radiotherapy

Clinical Oncology, 1998
We 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, 2000
A 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.

Radiation-induced brachial plexus neuropathy: A review

Neurology India, 2019
Radiation-induced brachial plexus neuropathy (RIBPN) is an uncommon problem. It is a delayed nontraumatic brachial plexus neuropathy following radiation treatment for carcinomas in the region of neck, axilla, and chest wall. The incidence is more commonly reported following radiation treatment for carcinoma of breast.
