vitamin-b-12 and Brachial-Plexus-Neuritis

The study revealed that cervicobrachialgias (cervical syndrome) can be effectively treated with high-dosed neurotropic vitamins. This refers in particular to pain caused by pressure on the cervical plexus and paravertebral pain on pressur, Regarding paravertebral pain on pressure, it was possible to prove a significant superiority of the therapy with Neurotrat forte. The duration of therapy in both groups was, however, too short in order to prove a significant improvement regarding the lateral listing of the cervical spine. Both forms of treatment produced similar results in view of an improvement of impaired sensibility, paresthesia and alleviation of pain. In both groups side effects were only occasionally observed.

Brachial neuritis is characterized by shoulder and arm pain followed by weakness and atrophy of affected muscles and sensory loss in the arm. Isolated sensory involvement of the brachial plexus is very rare. Diagnosis of brachial neuritis is usually based on clinical history and examination, with the confirmation by electrodiagnostic tests. A 72-year-old woman presented with numbness and tingling in the bilateral upper extremities. While nerve conduction examination revealed only sensory abnormalities of the bilateral upper extremities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed thickening and hyperintensity of the bilateral brachial plexus. We report a case of bilateral brachial neuritis with clinical and electrophysiological pure sensory involvement diagnosed using brachial plexus MRI. Although electrophysiological examination is thought to be the best diagnostic technique in the diagnosis of brachial neuritis, its findings sometimes indicate a distal lesion, while the involvement of the whole brachial plexus can be seen in MRI.
