A female baby at two months old was diagnosed as having birth branchial palsy and was studied by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is a non-invasive and safe method for assessing any brachial plexus injury in the infant. A traumatic meningocele involving a root avulsion injury was clearly demonstrated by the MRI findings.
