CT-guided biopsy of the brachial plexus is a safe technique for selected patients. This minimally invasive approach allows for accurate tissue diagnosis in the complex brachial plexus region.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Interventional Procedures
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • The brachial plexus is a complex network of nerves crucial for arm function.
  • Biopsying lesions in this region presents unique anatomical challenges.
  • Accurate diagnosis of brachial plexus lesions is essential for appropriate treatment planning.

Observation:

  • A novel technique for CT-guided biopsy of the brachial plexus region was developed.
  • Two clinical cases undergoing this procedure were documented.
  • The procedure involved detailed imaging and precise needle placement.

Findings:

  • CT guidance enables safe and accurate targeting of brachial plexus lesions.
  • The described technique demonstrated feasibility in clinical practice.

  • Potential complications were identified and discussed.

    • Implications:

    • CT-guided biopsy offers a minimally invasive option for diagnosing brachial plexus pathologies.
    • This technique can improve diagnostic yield and patient outcomes.
    • Further studies may validate this approach for a wider range of brachial plexus lesions.
