| 英文摘要 |
Radiation-induced brachial plexopathy (RIBP) is a neurologic disease of the peripheral nervous system secondary to radiation therapy, which is used to treat cancer of the head, neck, upper trunk, and axilla. RIBP is reported to induce a combination of numbness, paresthesia, pain, and weakness. Currently, there is no defi nitive treatment to cease the progression of RIBP or improve neurologic functions. There are pharmacological, nonpharmacological, and surgical remedies shown to ameliorate the progression of RIBP. These conventional therapies have been reported with low effi cacy and undesirable side effects. A novel ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection technique has been extensively used for chronic pain management, and this case report suggests an ultrasound-guided perineural hydrodissection technique is viable to treat RIBP defi cits secondary to radiation therapy. |
