BRACHIAL PLEXUS NEURITIDES Meaning and Definition

  1. Brachial plexus neuritides, also known as brachial plexitis or brachial neuritis, is a medical condition characterized by inflammation or damage to the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that extends from the spinal cord in the neck to innervate the shoulder, arm, and hand.

    In brachial plexus neuritides, the inflammation or damage to the network of nerves can lead to severe pain, weakness, and sensory disturbances in the affected arm. This condition is often idiopathic, meaning the cause is unknown, but it can also be associated with viral infections, autoimmune disorders, radiation therapy, or trauma.

    Symptoms of brachial plexus neuritides commonly include sudden, sharp, or burning pain in the shoulder or arm, accompanied by weakness and numbness. The pain may radiate down the arm or may be localized to specific areas. Muscle weakness can lead to difficulty moving or lifting the arm, and sensory disturbances may cause tingling, numbness, or decreased sensation in the affected areas.

    Diagnosis of brachial plexus neuritides involves a thorough evaluation of symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. Additional tests such as electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) may be conducted to assess nerve function and rule out other possible causes.

    Treatment of brachial plexus neuritides often involves pain management through nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, or other analgesic medications. Physical therapy may be recommended to improve muscle strength and range of motion. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair or remove damaged nerves.
