Area of Science:

  • Anatomy and Radiology

Background:

  • The brachial plexus originates from cervical and thoracic spinal nerves.
  • It runs between scalene muscles near the subclavian artery.
  • Brachial plexopathy symptoms are often nonspecific.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review brachial plexus anatomy from surgical and radiographic perspectives.
  • To discuss the symptomatology of brachial plexopathy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomical and clinical literature.
  • Discussion of imaging modalities (MRI, CT).

Main Results:

  • The brachial plexus anatomy is detailed.
  • Common etiologies include trauma, tumors, and inflammatory conditions.
  • Imaging techniques like MRI and CT can visualize the plexus.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding brachial plexus anatomy is crucial for diagnosing plexopathies.
  • Etiologies of brachial plexopathy are diverse, requiring comprehensive evaluation.
