Summary

Brachial plexus injuries with preganglionic root avulsions can spare sensory nerve conduction. Surgical options were limited for a patient with this injury due to its proximity to the spinal cord.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Brachial plexus injuries are categorized into preganglionic and postganglionic types based on root avulsion.
  • Preganglionic injuries involve the dorsal root ganglion, potentially sparing sensory nerve conduction.
  • These injury types differ anatomically, physiologically, and in surgical treatability.
