DOI: 10.1007/s00701-020-04466-8
Abstract: Background Perineural spread (PNS) is an emerging mechanism for progressive, non-traumatic brachial plexopathy. We aim to summarize the pathologies (tumor and infection) shown to have spread along or to the brachial plexus, and identify the… read more here.
