Plexus Pathology

Locating pathology in either the brachial or lumbar plexus can be difficult; the nerves are small, have tortuous routes, extend far into the limbs, and run parallel to veins and arteries. In the case of the brachial plexus, there is also respiratory motion and ventral location to consider. An imaging approach appropriate for these pathologies is described in the Brachial Plexus MRI Tips and Tricks section.
