Hoarseness following brachial plexus block.

A Udit, D R Chen

    The West Indian Medical Journal
    |June 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Hoarseness occurred after a left brachial plexus block. This suggests a potential paralysis of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, a rare complication of the supraclavicular approach.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Brachial plexus blocks are common anesthetic procedures.
    • The supraclavicular approach is a frequently used technique for brachial plexus anesthesia.

    Observation:

    • A patient experienced hoarseness after a left brachial plexus block via the supraclavicular approach.
    • This symptom suggests an unusual complication of the procedure.

    Findings:

    • The hoarseness is potentially linked to paralysis of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve.
    • This nerve is anatomically close to the brachial plexus in the supraclavicular region.

    Implications:

    • Awareness of this potential complication is crucial for anesthesiologists.
    • Further investigation may be needed to confirm the causal link and optimize block techniques.
