Clinical-electrophysiological correlations in brachial plexopathies
Aim of the study: Determination of clinical-electrophysiological correlation of brachial plexus injuries.
Material and methods: 27 patients were examined (male / female ratio - 3/1) with the diagnosis of brachial plexopathy. Patients were assessed by electromyography (EMG), MRI / CT of the brachial plexus, cervical spine, serology / immunology in relation to each case. Results: The picture of total brachial plexus injury was found in 14 patients (51.9% cases). Just proximal damage was determined in 8 patients (29.6%), distal - 5 patients (18.5%). Motor responses in 18 patients (66.7%) could not be registered; in other cases was reduced the amplitude of muscle response. In cases of traumatic etiology complex muscle action potential amplitude was significantly reduced. The F-waves were absent in 20 patients (74.1%). Despite the presence of clinical signs of sensory deficit the sensory action potentials were recorded in all patients examined. EMG showed signs of neurogenic damage in the muscles involved. Conclusions: EMG allows assessment of brachial plexus structure (trunk / cord)
