Abstract

The initial potion of this chapter provides an overview of brachial plexus anatomy, pathology, pathophysiology, and lesion classification. It is followed by short narratives on brachial plexus assessment, especially its electrodiagnostic (EDX) and radiologic assessments, and lesion prognostication. Using a regional approach, the chapter concludes with a discussion of many of the entities affecting it, including the diagnostic and clinical management issues surrounding these disorders.
