✦ Synopsis

Abstract
Among 19 patients admitted to hospital following a major disaster it was noted that 15 showed evidence of traumatic asphyxia and 7 had sustained brachial plexus injury. Three such cases are presented, the possible pathogenesis of the brachial plexus lesions is discussed, and the diagnostic difficulty presented by unconscious traumatically asphyxiated patients with monoparesis is highlighted.

## Abstract Diagnosis becomes more complex when there is an association of a brachial plexus injury with an arterial lesion. The principal clinical picture in most cases is acute ischemia that requires initial treatment in the emergency room, and the final results of nerve repair are generally poor
