Lower Brachial Plexus Syndrome

Lower brachial plexus syndrome is one of the most common peripheral neuropathic diseases and can be accompanied by a variety of different symptoms.

The syndrome most often occurs against the background of compression, damage or inflammation of the trunk and branches of the brachial spinal cord and the proximal brachial nerve, which transmits signals from the sensory receptors of the hands to the brain. These diseases usually occur over the age of 50 and are often the result of degeneration of the cervical spine due to various degenerative diseases such as osteochondrosis and other disc changes.

Symptoms of lower brachial cord syndrome can vary individually, but often include feelings of weakness, loss of movement and sensation. Hospitalization is not required in all cases, but clinical examinations are usually recommended for diagnostic testing.

This disease is characterized by impaired motor skills of the hand, muscle weakness, pain and changes in sensitivity in the hand area.

The most common symptom is a feeling of numbness in the area of ​​the inner shoulder,

Syndrome of the lower third of the brachial plexus is one of the most common causes of pain in the arm due to compression of blood vessels and nerves when the tumor is located in the zone of innervation of the posterior and upper trunk of the brachial plexus or directly below it at the exit from the diaphragm and displacement of organs and structures along with the intersection of the spinal current brain This pathology is often accompanied by compression of the subclavian vessels, which reduces blood flow to the upper extremities and manifests itself in the form of numbness, weakness, atrophy of the muscles of the forearm and hand, up to the development of bedsores. Most often, the development of lower third brachial plexus syndrome occurs in patients with abdominal wall cysts in the neck and lower chest. Manifestations of this pathology are: a feeling of tingling and numbness in the fingers and forearm, decreased strength in the hand, fingers and arm, pain when raising the arm above 90°, especially if this is done with a jerk, impaired sensitivity with a sensation of goosebumps and tingling up to painful syndrome in the area of ​​the shoulder blades, navel, abdomen and pelvis, inadequate hand control, staggering when walking, appetite gradually decreases, insomnia and irritability appear. Manifestations of this syndrome can range from minor discomfort and mild weakness in the arms to severe nerve damage and even paralysis of the upper limbs. Sim
