Amyotrophic Monoplegia Secondary to Posttraumatic Rupture of the Brachial Plexus’s Roots: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Brachial plexus lesions most often occur in multiple trauma. We report a case of a 37-year-old patient who presented an upper left limb total sensitivomotor deficit and amyotrophy after a cervical and upper limb trauma. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed. It noted pseudomeningoc...

Traumatic brachial plexus injury is a potentially serious debilitating injury which can be well explored on MRI.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2021/6614881
