Computed tomographic (CT) anatomy of the normal brachial plexus was analyzed in 50 patients with nonneurologic disease. Identification of anatomic structures on the CT images was facilitated by comparison with cadaver cross sections. Ten patients with clinical brachial plexopathy were also examined. Of these 10 patients, 7 demonstrated lesions of the brachial plexus. Computed tomographic examination of the brachial plexus is useful in detecting mass lesions of the plexus and may allow earlier diagnosis and specific therapy. Whether CT will be reliable in distinguishing idiopathic brachial plexopathy from the plexopathy associated with pathological lesions awaits further study.
对50例非神经系统疾病患者的正常臂丛神经进行了计算机断层扫描（CT）解剖分析。通过与尸体横断面比较，有助于在CT图像上识别解剖结构。还对10例临床臂丛神经病变患者进行了检查。在这10例患者中，7例显示有臂丛神经损伤。臂丛神经的计算机断层扫描检查有助于检测臂丛神经的肿块性病变，并可能实现早期诊断和特异性治疗。CT能否可靠地区分特发性臂丛神经病变与伴有病理性病变的臂丛神经病变，尚有待进一步研究。
