Learning objectives Exploring  MR evaluation of  brachial plexus by explaining relevant key anatomy with landmarks, muscles supplied by the Brachial plexus with its functionsFeaturing Pictorial Cases  of  brachial plexopathies under the spectrum of Traumatic and Non-Traumatic aetiologies
Read more Background Radiological evaluation of the brachial plexus is challenging due to its complex anatomy, long course, and various conditions like trauma, infections, neoplasms, and vascular abnormalities requiring detailed diagnostic knowledge
Read more Findings and procedure details The MRI imaging findings of patients presented to department of Neuroimaging and Intervention in our institute with Brachial plexopathies were documented ,analyzed in conjunction with normal anatomyANATOMY OF BRACHIAL PLEXUS:The brachial plexus is complex neural network that provides sensory and motor innervation to the chest, shoulder, arm, and hand. It arises from the C5 to T1 spinal nerves shown in Fig1, but anatomical variations can occur. The prefixed brachial plexus involves contributions from C4 to C7, while postfixed plexus incorporates...
Read more Conclusion The Knowledge of MRI Imaging of Brachial plexus anatomy is essential to be familiar with locating the pathology, delineating the etiology and preoperative planning.
