The number of refugees around the world who have fled political or ethnic persecution has increased. An increasing proportion of these refugees are survivors of torture. Many of these suffer physical as well as psychological sequelae to torture. In trying to evaluate the torture claims of the refugees, it is important for the physician to learn about types of torture and to look for symptoms. After positional torture, in which the victims are suspended by their wrists which are tied behind their back (Palestinian hanging), severe lasting nerve, ligament, or tendon damage is seen. In this paper we present two cases of brachial plexus injury. Only sensory nerves were affected causing a neurogenic pain condition including dysaesthesia and neuralgia.
全球因政治或种族迫害而逃离的难民数量有所增加。这些难民中遭受酷刑的幸存者比例也在上升。其中许多人不仅遭受身体上的折磨，还承受着酷刑带来的心理后遗症。在评估难民的酷刑指控时，医生了解酷刑类型并寻找相关症状非常重要。在体位性酷刑中，受害者被手腕反绑在背后悬吊起来（巴勒斯坦式悬吊），会出现严重且持久的神经、韧带或肌腱损伤。在本文中，我们介绍两例臂丛神经损伤的病例。仅感觉神经受到影响，导致包括感觉异常和神经痛在内的神经源性疼痛状况。
