  • Title: CT appearance of intercostal nerve neurotisation.
    Author: Gadahadh R, Rachapalli V, Roberts DE.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 2012 Mar; 85(1011):e56-8. PubMed ID: 22391501.
    Abstract:
    A nerve transfer or neurotisation procedure is performed to repair damaged nerves, in particular those of the brachial plexus following an avulsion injury. An intercostal to phrenic nerve transfer to re-innervate the diaphragm in patients with high cervical spine injury has also been reported in the literature. We present the imaging finding in a 65-year-old female who had an intercostal nerve transfer for a damaged phrenic nerve following a resection for a non-small cell lung carcinoma.
