Brachial plexus lesions most often occur in multiple trauma. We report a case of 37-year-old patient who presented an upper left limb total sensitivomotor deficit and amyotrophy after cervical Cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed. It noted pseudomeningoceles at the levels C6-C7, C7-D1, D1-D2 T1 hyposignal , T2 STIR hypersignal not enhanced by injection Gadolinium extending fo...

The author reports a rare case of brachial plexus infiltration by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. T2-weighted MRI showed high signal intensity along the right brachial plexus and soft tissue masses. Ga-67 scintigraphy showed abnormal tracer uptake along the course of the right brachial plexus, and was superior to MRI in detecting the abnormality.

background: given the lack of consistency in the literature regarding the reliability of the ankle-brachial index (abi) as a valid screening tool and an independent risk indicator of cardiovascular events and mortality, we compared it with angiography as a reference standard test. methods: this case-control study, conducted between 2010 and 2011 in tehran heart center, recruited 362 angiographi...

conclusions preemptive clonidine has many marvelous advantages over midazolam, including better sedation inside the operating room and then in the post-operative care unit, lower fentanyl doses are required during surgery, more stable heart rate and blood pressure are observed during the procedure, and patients report lower post-operative pain scores. objectives to compare the effect of preempt...

background: variations of the brachial plexus are common and a better awareness of the variations is of crucial importance to achieve successful results in its surgical procedures. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the anatomical variations of the brachial plexus in adult cadavers.   methods: bilateral upper limbs of 32 fresh cadavers (21 males and 11 females) consecutively referred ...

The axillary brachial plexus block is the most widely performed upper limb block. It is relatively simple to perform and one of the safest approaches to brachial plexus block. With the advent of ultrasound technology, there is a marked improvement in the success rate of the axillary block. This review will focus on the technique of ultrasound guided axillary brachial plexus block.
