Motor unit number estimation (MUNE) was shown to be useful in assessing the neurophysiological status of 18 subjects with congenital brachial palsy. This was especially so since conventional M-wave measurements may give misleading impressions as to the extent of motor axon regeneration. In most subj

## Abstract The incidence of obstetric brachial plexus palsy is not declining. Heavy birth weight of the infant and breech delivery are considered two important risk factors and Caesarean section delivery seems to be a protective factor. There are two clinical appearances, that is, paralysis of the
## Abstract In the preβoperative screening of infants with obstetric brachial palsy (OBP), the results of routine electromyography are often overly optimistic when compared to the periβoperative findings. This prompted us to include investigation of the sensory innervation of these infants using th
Resurgence of neurosurgical intervention of obstetrical brachial plexus palsy prompted our review of 186 patients evaluated between 1981 and 1993, correlating clinical examination, electrodiagnosis, and functional outcome with conservative management. Eighty-eight percent had upper brachial plexus p
The case of a 33-year-old male involved in a road traffic accident, resulting in brachial plexus palsy associated with subarachnoid pneumatosis, is described. A knowledge of the regional anatomy at the root of the neck is used to explain the patient's neurological signs and the mechanism of entry of
