Abstract:
A population of 205 patients hospitalized for evaluation of cervicobrachial pain was retrospectively studied. Four aetiological groups were individualized: common cervicobrachial neuralgia (CBN) due to nucleus pulposus herniation or spondylarthrosis (119 cases); inflammatory radicular lesion (39 cases); CBN reflecting lesions of the cervicobrachial plexus or the spine (23 cases) and pain of undetermined origin (22 cases). The semiological characteristics of these four groups are discussed.
