  • Title: A case of bilateral brachial plexus palsy due to shoulder braces.
    Author: Kent CD, Cheney FW.
    Journal: J Clin Anesth; 2007 Sep; 19(6):482-4. PubMed ID: 17967684.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 32 year-old man who underwent a laparoscopic-assisted sigmoid colectomy and who developed bilateral upper trunk brachial plexopathy. The complication occurred with intraoperative signs of neurovascular compression. Failure to recognize the significance of a decrease in pulses in the upper extremities, with resulting lack of remedial action, may have been a major factor leading to patient injury.
