Brachial plexus injuries are quite common and can be caused by a variety of factors. Children with brachial plexus injuries can experience paralysis of the arms and sensory disturbances in the upper limbs. Rehabilitation in some cases can help children improve their paralysis and limit stiffness over time.

The brachial plexus is a rather complex part and there are many different ways to anesthetize it. Of these, the axillary brachial plexus anesthetic is the simplest and has the highest probability of success.

The brachial plexus is a network of nerve fibers belonging to the peripheral nerve group that supplies the skin and musculature of the upper limb. It begins at the base of the neck, passes through the armpit, and runs through the entire upper limb.

Brachial plexus neuritis is a disease that occurs mainly in young people, characterized by unilateral shoulder pain and flaccid paralysis of the muscles in the arm area.

Injury to the brachial plexus in infants at birth causes paralysis or weakness of the upper limb muscles and loss of sensation, followed by changes in the sympathetic nervous system, soft tissue contractures and limb deformities. Clinical manifestations are weak or absent movements of the paralyzed arm, leg, or hand, flaccid muscles, and decreased or lost sensation in the skin of the arm.
