Overview Damage to the upper nerves that make up the brachial plexus tends to occur when your shoulder is forced down while your neck stretches up and away from the injured shoulder. The lower nerves are more likely to be injured when your arm is forced above your head. These injuries can occur in several ways, including:

Overview This form of thoracic outlet syndrome is characterized by compression of the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that come from your spinal cord and control muscle movements and sensation in your shoulder, arm and hand.In the majority of thoracic outlet syndrome cases, the symptoms are neurogenic. 1  Vascular thoracic outlet syndrome. Vascular thoracic outlet syndrome. 2  This type of thoracic outlet syndrome occurs when one or more of the veins (venous thoracic outlet syndrome) or arteries (arterial thoracic outlet syndrome) under the collarbone (clavicle) are compressed.

The Brachial Plexus Fig 1- Proximal portion of the brachial plexus, in the neck. The brachial plexus is a network of nerve fibres that supplies the skin and musculature of the upper limb. It begins in the root of the neck, passes through the axilla, and enters the upper arm. The plexus is formed by the anterior rami (divisions) of the cervical spinal nerves C5, C6, C7 and C8, and the first thoracic spinal nerve, T1.

Brachial Neuritis: Pain You Shouldnât Ignore Brachial neuritis can cause severe pain in your shoulder. When this pain subsides, your shoulder may be weak, limiting your movement. This is a rare disorder that often begins suddenly, with pain frequently beginning during the night. Brachial neuritis is also called neuralgic amyotrophy or Parsonage-Turner syndrome. The two main types of brachial neuritis are idiopathic and inherited. The most common type is idiopathic.

Brachial Neuritis Mortality/Morbidity. Brachial neuritis is not a fatal condition, although the phrenic nerve may be involved. The risk of 'significant' residual disability in the involved limb after 2 years is approximately 10-20%.. A recent survey suggested that up to half of patients are left with residual shoulder pain and decreased endurance.

- Article Sections. Patients with acute brachial plexus neuritis are often misdiagnosed as having cervical radiculopathy. Acute brachial plexus neuritis is an uncommon disorder characterized by severe shoulder and upper arm pain followed by marked upper arm weakness. The temporal profile of pain preceding weakness is important in establishing a prompt diagnosis and differentiating acute brachial plexus neuritis from cervical radiculopathy.

Brachial Neuritis The brachial plexus is a bundle of nerves that travels from the spinal cord to the chest, shoulder, arms, and hands. It usually affects just one side of the body, but it can involve other nerves and other parts of the body, as well. Acute brachial neuritis. This type of brachial neuritis occurs unexpectedly on its own. It is characterized by sharp, severe pain in the nerves of the brachial plexus, followed by weakness or numbness.
