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.
The Cervical Plexus
The cervical plexus, formed by the anterior rami of the first four...

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

Neonatal brachial plexus injuries can limit arm function. Early nerve surgery can improve outcomes for affected children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic surgery

Background:

  • Neonatal brachial plexus injuries can lead to permanent upper limb dysfunction.
  • Early surgical intervention is crucial for selected cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of neonatal brachial plexus injuries.
  • To explain the neuropathology, natural history, and surgical treatment rationale.
  • To outline assessment methods and decision-making for surgical intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current understanding of neonatal brachial plexus palsies.
  • Presentation of neuropathology and injury mechanisms.
  • Outline of functional assessment and surgical treatment strategies.
