- W1784173810 abstract "OBJECTIVE: To investigate brachial plexus ultrasound as a possible modality for pre-operative assessment of obstetric brachial plexus injury. BACKGROUND: Obstetric brachial plexus injuries are commonly assessed with electrodiagnostic studies, CT myelography, and/or MRI. The use of ultrasound for assessment of focal neuropathies has gained favor recently. However, the utility of ultrasound in assessing injuries of the brachial plexus in infants has not been examined. DESIGN/METHODS: In this retrospective case series we compare pre-operative brachial plexus ultrasound findings in 8 patients with obstetric brachial plexus injuries to intra-operative findings. Patients were insonated under general anesthesia at the time of surgery. When available, pre-operative MRI findings are presented. RESULTS: We report pre-operative ultrasound findings in 8 patients with obstetric brachial plexopathy. Ultrasound revealed abnormalities in all cases. Furthermore, ultrasound appeared to be as sensitive, if not more sensitive, than pre-operative MRI in the assessment of degree of injury and anatomic location. CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound is a relatively inexpensive, noninvasive, painless diagnostic modality that can be used to assess obstetric brachial plexus injury. Our case series suggests that ultrasound can detect evidence of injury to the brachial plexus in this patient group and may provide valuable pre-surgical information.
