2 patients with breast cancer developed progressive brachial plexopathy. The unusual electrographic finding in both patients was conduction block (neuropraxia) along the medial cord of the brachial plexus. The plexus was explored in 1 patient. Constrictive connective tissue or another source of nerve entrapment was not identified. The exact cause of the conduction block remains unclear; its presence neither indicates a good prognosis nor an indication for surgical exploration.
2例乳腺癌患者出现进行性臂丛神经病变。两名患者均有异常的电图表现,即沿臂丛内侧束出现传导阻滞(神经失用)。对其中1例患者进行了臂丛探查。未发现缩窄性结缔组织或其他神经卡压源。传导阻滞的确切原因尚不清楚;其存在既不提示预后良好,也不是手术探查的指征。
