Sjukdomar i cervikal- och övre bröstryggrötterna, nervstammarna, nervsträngarna och de perifera nervkomponenterna tillhörande armnervnätet. Kliniska symtom omfattar smärta, parestesi, muskelsvaghet oc h nedsatt känsel (hypestesi) i armen. Dessa tillstånd kan bero på trauma (inkl. förlossningsskador), toraxapertursyndrom, tumörer, nervinflammation, strålningsterapi m m.
Diseases of the cervical (and first thoracic) roots, nerve trunks, cords, and peripheral nerve components of the BRACHIAL PLEXUS. Clinical manifestations include regional pain, PARESTHESIA; MUSCLE WEAKNESS, and decreased sensation (HYPESTHESIA) in the upper extremity. These disorders may be associated with trauma (including BIRTH INJURIES); THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME; NEOPLASMS; NEURITIS; RADIOTHERAPY; and other conditions.
