Isolated paralysis of the musculocutaneous nerve, as reported in the literature, is an extremely rare phenomenon. It is our purpose to document the occurrence of one case as a complication of abdominal surgery. Possible mechanisms suggest why the musculocutaneous nerve may be vulnerable to injury during surgical procedures that incorporate certain methods of patient positioning. The particular pattern of nerve damage reflected in this case report may be helpful in further elucidating the other, more common, diffuse postoperative brachial plexus palsies.
正如文献所报道的，肌皮神经孤立性麻痹是一种极为罕见的现象。我们的目的是记录一例作为腹部手术并发症发生的病例。文中提出了一些可能的机制，解释了为什么在采用某些患者体位摆放方法的外科手术过程中，肌皮神经可能容易受到损伤。本病例报告中所反映的神经损伤的特定模式，可能有助于进一步阐明其他更常见的弥漫性术后臂丛神经麻痹。
