3-2-03. Does cervical radiculopathy complicate brachial plexopathy? An electrophysiological analysis

It is well known that cervical radiculopathy (CR) and neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) show very similar phenotype and sometimes difficult to differentiate each other. In 2015, we reported brachial plexus abnormality on three tesla magnetic resonance neurography (3T-MRN) in patients with CR. The purpose of this study is, to investigate signs of brachial plexus involvement with electrophysiological tests. We underwent retrospective chart review of 24 patients with CR from 2009 to 2014. In all patients, we performed 3T-MRN and nerve conduction study (NCS) to evaluate brachial plexus involvement.
