Abstract
Despite considerable knowledge and preventive strategies, brachial plexus injuries remain a frequent occurrence in the perioperative setting. The importance of careful positioning is stressed, however most careful positioning is also not sufficient to prevent the lesion; some patients seem to be more prone even in the best of conditions.Our patient despite being operated in supine position developed postoperative tingling and weakness of right upper extremity due to a neurogenic lesion at C5, C6 nerve root as confirmed by EMG and nerve conduction studies. The patient underwent supervised physiotherapy and had a near total resolution of symptoms in 10 days.
