The brachial plexus arises from the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal nerve roots. It courses between the anterior and middle scalene muscles and adjacent to the subclavian artery. The brachial plexus may be visualized by both MRI and CT. Symptoms of a brachial plexopathy commonly are nonlocalizing. Traumatic injuries and involvement by tumors probably account for the majority of etiologies responsible for these plexopathies. Inflammatory processes also involve the brachial plexus. This article reviews the anatomy of the brachial plexus from both surgical and radiographic approaches and also addresses the symptomatology of brachial plexopathy underlying it.
臂丛神经由下颈段和上胸段脊神经根发出。它走行于前、中斜角肌之间并毗邻锁骨下动脉。臂丛神经可通过磁共振成像（MRI）和计算机断层扫描（CT）显示。臂丛神经病变的症状通常不具有定位性。创伤性损伤和肿瘤累及可能是这些神经丛病变的主要病因。炎症过程也可累及臂丛神经。本文从外科手术和影像学角度回顾了臂丛神经的解剖结构，并探讨了其 underlying 的臂丛神经病变的症状学。 （注：原文中“underlying”表述有误，可能影响理解，推测正确表述或许是“underlying”相关的医学术语）
