We describe two patients with unusual associated movements as a sequel to thoracotomy. The two patients developed involuntary twitchings of the latissimus dorsi, which were induced by contractions of the adjacent muscles, the serratus anterior muscle in patient 1 and the external intercostal muscle in patient 2, after lobectomy for lung cancer. Electrophysiological and radiological studies showed that aberrant regeneration from the adjacent nerves to the denervated latissimus dorsi could be responsible for the associated movements.
我们描述了两名患者，他们在开胸手术后出现了异常的关联运动。这两名患者在肺癌肺叶切除术后，出现了背阔肌的不自主抽搐，分别由相邻肌肉的收缩诱发，病例1是前锯肌，病例2是肋间外肌。电生理和放射学研究表明，相邻神经向失神经支配的背阔肌的异常再生可能是导致这些关联运动的原因。
