About Neuritis with Brachial Predilection

Neuritis with brachial predilection is a neurological condition involving inflammation of the nerves, specifically targeting the brachial plexus, the network of nerves that sends signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand. A neurologist performs a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, which is not a single procedure but a series of assessments. This includes a detailed neurological examination, nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and often advanced imaging like MRI of the cervical spine and brachial plexus. The goal is to pinpoint the cause of inflammation, such as autoimmune disorders, infections, or compression, and to rule out other conditions. This precise diagnosis is crucial for developing an effective, targeted treatment plan to alleviate pain, restore function, and prevent long-term nerve damage.

Key Highlights

    Accurate diagnosis through advanced neurological testing (NCS/EMG) and imaging.Non-invasive diagnostic components help pinpoint the exact source of nerve inflammation.Essential for differentiating neuritis from other conditions like cervical radiculopathy or peripheral neuropathy.Forms the critical foundation for a targeted and effective treatment strategy.Performed by a specialist (neurologist) with expertise in complex nerve disorders.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistent, severe pain in the shoulder, arm, or hand, often described as burning or shooting.
  • Unexplained weakness, numbness, or tingling (paresthesia) in the upper limb.
  • Muscle atrophy or wasting in the shoulder or arm muscles.
  • History of recent infection, vaccination, or trauma that preceded neurological symptoms.
  • Suspected autoimmune or inflammatory conditions like Parsonage-Turner syndrome (neuralgic amyotrophy).
  • To rule out structural causes like tumors or herniated discs compressing the brachial plexus.

How to prepare

  • Provide a complete medical history, including details of recent illnesses, injuries, or vaccinations.
  • List all current medications, supplements, and any known allergies.
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the neck, shoulder, and arm.
  • Avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams to the skin on the day of the nerve conduction studies.
  • Inform the neurologist if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device.
  • For an EMG, you may be advised to avoid caffeine for a few hours before the test.

Risks & possible complications

  • Discomfort or pain during needle insertion for the electromyography (EMG) portion of the testing.
  • Minor bruising or soreness at the site of needle electrodes.
  • Rare risk of infection at needle insertion sites.
  • Fainting or lightheadedness (vasovagal response) during the procedure, though uncommon.
  • The diagnostic process itself carries minimal physical risk; the primary risks are associated with the underlying condition if left untreated.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Diagnostic tests like NCS/EMG require no specific recovery; you can typically resume normal activities immediately.
  • Some muscle soreness or tenderness may persist for a day or two after an EMG.
  • Apply a cold pack to any sore areas if needed for comfort.
  • Follow-up with your neurologist is crucial to discuss test results and formulate a treatment plan, which may include medications (e.g., corticosteroids, pain relievers), physical therapy, or further interventions.
  • Recovery from the underlying neuritis depends on the cause and treatment; physical therapy is often a key component for regaining strength and function.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0 days (typically outpatient)
  • checked Expected recovery time: Varies by underlying cause; diagnostic recovery is immediate

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
