Development of Diffusion MRI and Tractography Technique for the Detection of Nerve Lesions in Brachial Plexus Injuries: Feasibility Study
The objective of this prospective study is to contribute to improving the management of patients with obstetric brachial plexus palsy. The main objective is the characterization of the microstructure by diffusion MRI in patients with a history of unoperated obstetrical brachial plexus palsy.
• Patients aged 14 to 30 years
• Consulted by the Orthopedics Department at Armand Trousseau Hospital
• Diagnosed and monitored by Armand Trousseau Hospital for obstetrical brachial plexus palsy (OBBP)
• Having a single, unoperated lesion (lesions are very different and only exceptionally affect all the roots bilaterally).
• Not suffering from bone or neurological pathology unrelated to OBP
• Patients affiliated with or entitled to a social security scheme
• Patients who have received informed information and have signed, with the investigator, a consent form to participate in the study
• Parents/legal guardians who have received informed information and have co-signed, with the investigator, a consent form to participate in the study, for minor patients
