Spinal Nerves: Plexus I01:22

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.

Spinal Nerves: Plexus II

The plexuses of the lower body include the lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses, which innervate the abdomen, pelvis, legs, and coccygeal region. These plexuses control the transmission of sensory information and coordinate motor functions of the lower body.
The Lumbar Plexus
The lumbar plexus is situated within the lumbar region of the back and is primarily formed by the first four lumbar spinal nerves (L1 to L4). This plexus extends its branches into several nerves, including the...

Summary

Bilateral obstetric brachial plexus paralysis is exceptionally rare in infants. Surgical intervention and physiotherapy enabled an infant to crawl with active use of both arms.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neurology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Obstetric brachial plexus paralysis (OBPP) is typically unilateral.
  • Bilateral OBPP is exceedingly rare, with limited literature.
  • This case addresses the rarity and management of bilateral OBPP.

Observation:

  • An 8-month-old boy presented with bilateral OBPP.
  • The patient underwent bilateral neurotization of the suprascapular nerve with the accessory nerve and bilateral Oberlin procedures.
  • Treatment involved two surgical steps followed by intensive physiotherapy.

Findings:

  • Early follow-up at 6 months post-surgery showed functional improvement.
  • The infant demonstrated the ability to crawl with active bilateral arm support.
  • Successful functional recovery was achieved through surgical and rehabilitative interventions.

Implications:

  • Bilateral OBPP requires a multidisciplinary team approach for optimal outcomes.
  • Early surgical intervention and comprehensive physiotherapy are crucial for managing this rare condition.
  • This case highlights potential treatment strategies and the importance of collaborative care in severe OBPP.
