Abstract:
Cervicobrachial neuralgia. Cervicobrachial neuralgia is a common reason of rheumatologist consultation. It can be defined as cervicalgia associated with radicular pain of the upper limb, caused by a nerve compression. The most frequent cause is a soft disc herniation. Gravity signs have to be researched by a methodic physical exam: neurological deficit, medullar compression. Imagery is recommended: X-rays, tomodensitometry and/or MRI of cervical spine. The treatment is a combination of medicinal and non medicinal therapies, and in some cases, a surgical intervention is required.
