Paralysis of Plexus Brachialis occurring as a result of treatment of Congenital elevation of the Scapula

Abstract

Congenital elevation of the scapula (Sprengel's deformity) is characterized by the higher elevated level of the bone of scapula compared to its normal site. The most significant complication which should be taken into consideration in cases in which surgical treatment must be indicated is the paralysis of plexus brachialis. Scapula was reduced to its normal place by surgical treatment in one of our cases at 5 years of age with a congenital elevation of the scapula. Following surgery a complication of total paralysis of plexus brachialis developed. With the intention of eliminating this complication resulting from extreme tension and compression in plexus brachialis, scapula was displaced more proximally with a second surgical attempt, the arm immobilized in an abduction splint, and immediate electrogymnastic exercises were started. At the end of 3 months the paralysis of plexus brachialis was relieved. Taking opportunity with this case, attemps have been made to review under the light of literature, the paraiysis of plexus brachiaiis resulting from the surgical treatment of congenital elevation of the scapula and choice of its treatment as well.
