Abstract

This article is devoted to the description of historical aspects of the development and formation of modern clinical and instrumental methods of examination of patients with diseases (compression-ischemic, peripheral nerve sheath tumors) and injuries of the brachial plexus.

Taking into account the complex anatomical structure of the brachial plexus, it is problematic to reliably compare anatomo-pathological parameters with functional-pathological changes of peripheral nerves in patients with diseases and traumatic lesions. Then to help, in addition to clinical and neurological examination, come instrumental methods of diagnosis, which can be divided into 3 large groups: vegetative, neurophysiological and radiation. With the help of all these studies, it is possible not only to localize the topical lesion of the brachial plexus, but also to determine its severity.
