paralytic brachial neuritis
Introduction
Introduction to paralytic brachial plexus neuritis The cause of paralytic brachial plexus neuritis is unknown, and may be related to infection, allergies, etc. The main manifestations are pain, weakness and muscle atrophy, which are mainly scapular muscles. The incidence is acute and the prognosis is good. Brachial plexus damage caused by cervical osteoarthrosis is not included. The cause is unknown and may be related to infection, allergies, etc. This disease often needs to be differentiated from cervical radiculitis and inflammation of the neck and shoulder muscles, shoulder arthritis and inflammation around the shoulder joint. basic knowledge Sickness ratio: 0.05%-0.08% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: Somatosensory disorder Periarthritis of shoulders Shoulder joint instability

Symptom
Paralytic brachial plexus symptoms common symptoms scapular and upper extremity pain sputum reflexes disappeared upper extremity abduction lifting difficulty scapula muscle atrophy brachial plexus involvement
1. History and symptoms: more common in adults, often in cold, cold, after surgery, acute or subacute onset, manifesting one side (several bilateral) neck, numbness of shoulder or upper limb muscles, pain, weakness, muscle atrophy The proximal end is heavy and the distal end is light.
2, physical examination found: brachial plexus on the nerve (clavicular upper and lower fossa or armpit) and other obvious tenderness, traction arm plexus upper extremity abduction or lifting will induce pain, shoulder, upper arm and forearm sacral sensation, squat Muscle, triceps tendon reflexes weakened or disappeared.
Examine
Examination of paralytic brachial plexus neuritis
1, cerebrospinal fluid examination: protein and cells can be slightly elevated.
2. Electromyography can have neurological changes.
Diagnosis

Diagnosis can be based on medical history, clinical symptoms, and laboratory findings.
This disease often needs to be differentiated from cervical radiculitis and inflammation of the neck and shoulder muscles, shoulder arthritis and inflammation around the shoulder joint.
