[Trauma of the brachial plexus and associated vascular injury--a case report]
Abstract:
Acute vascular trauma in the axillary region is usually associated with brachial plexus injury and presents a great challenge to surgeon and formidable obstacle to restore a useful limb function. Interdisciplinary operative and postoperative approach is mandatory providing an optimal care of these severe patients. Here we present a case of neurovascular trauma that affected axillary artery and vein, complete transection associated with complete transection of the brachial plexus. Immediately after admission emergency surgery was performed and in postoperative follow up, after several operations and rehabilitation that continued for 24 months, entire functional recovery was achieved without any disabling consequences.
