|---|---|
| brachial plexus neuropathy | A neurological disorder, of unknown cause, characterised by the sudden onset of severe pain, usually about the shoulder and often beginning at night, soon followed by weakness and wasting of various forequarter muscles, particularly shoulder girdle muscles; both sporadic and familial in occurrence with the former much more common; often preceded by some antecedent event, such as an upper respiratory infection, hospitalization, vaccination, or non-specific trauma; usually attributed to a brachial plexus lesion, because the nerve fibres involed are most often derived from the upper trunk, but actually multiple proximal mononeuropathies. Synonym: acute brachial radiculitis, brachial plexitis, brachial plexus neuropathy, Parsonage-Turner syndrome, shoulder-girdle syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brachial veins | Venae comitantes of the brachial artery which empty into the axillary vein. Synonym: venae brachiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial brachial cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, unites in the axilla with the lateral cutaneous branch of the second intercostal nerve, and supplies the skin of the medial side of the arm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii medialis, lesser internal cutaneous nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of arm, Wrisberg's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial cord of brachial plexus | In the brachial plexus, the bundle of nerve fibres formed by the anterior division of the inferior trunk which lies medial to the axillary artery; it gives off the medial pectoral nerve, the medial brachial cutaneous, and medial antebrachial cutaneous, nerves and end by dividing into the medial root of the median nerves and the ulnar nerve. Synonym: fasciculus medialis plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cervico-brachial neuralgia | Neuralgic pain of acute onset caused by lesions of the peripheral nerves or nerve roots affecting the upper limb, shoulder girdle, or brachial plexus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| middle trunk of brachial plexus | The continuation of the ventral ramus of the seventh cervical nerve; it contributes fibres to the posterior and lateral cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus medius plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial brachial artery | <anatomy, artery> An occasional variation in which the brachial artery lies superficial to the median nerve in the arm. Synonym: arteria brachialis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The terminal branch of the axillary nerve supplying the skin over the lower portion of the deltoid and for a distance below its insertion. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii lateralis superior, upper lateral cutaneous nerve of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior trunk of brachial plexus | The nerve bundle formed by the union of the ventral rami of the fifth and sixth cervical nerves and some fibres from the fourth; it contributes fibres to the posterior and lateral cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus superior plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep brachial artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, brachial; distribution, humerus and muscles and integument of arm; anastomoses, posterior circumflex humeral, radial recurrent, recurrent interosseous, ulnar collateral, i.e., articular vascular network of elbow. Synonym: arteria profunda brachii, deep brachial artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| supraclavicular part of brachial plexus | The part of the brachial plexus, including the roots, trunks, and divisions, that gives rise to the dorsal scapular, long thoracic, suprascapular and subclavian nerves. Synonym: pars supraclavicularis plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the radial nerve supplying the skin of the lower lateral aspect of the arm; it frequently is a branch of the posterior antebrachial nerve. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii lateralis inferior, lower lateral cutaneous nerve of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior trunk of brachial plexus | The nerve bundle formed by the union of the ventral rami of the eighth cervical and first thoracic nerves; it provides fibres to the posterior and medial cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus inferior plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infraclavicular part of brachial plexus | The part of the brachial plexus that extends from the level of the clavicle downward into the axilla; it includes the cords of the plexus and their branches. Synonym: pars infraclavicularis plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
