Article

This article describes the normal anatomy of the brachial plexus and its major
terminal branches, as well as the major causes and clinical presentations of
lesions of these structures. An approach to electrodiagnosis of brachial
plexopathies and proximal upper extremity neuropathies is provided, with an
emphasis on those nerve conduction studies and portions of the needle
examination, which permit localization of lesions to specific trunks, cords, and
terminal branches. The importance of specific sensory nerve conduction studies
for differentiating plexopathies from radiculopathies and mononeuropathies is
emphasized.
