Abstract

Brachial plexus palsy rarely occurs after Nuss procedure forpectus excavatum. Brachial plexus palsy after surgery may becaused by nerve tension and compression related to surgicalpositioning. In this article, we report a 21-year-old male patient ofbrachial plexus palsy after Nuss procedure revealing a narrowingof the costoclavicular space from 7.60 mm to 2.83 mm and anincrease to 4.51 mm after upper bar removal. Patient’s symptomswere fully recovered. Our results showed that narrowing of thecostoclavicular space after Nuss procedure might trigger brachialplexus palsy and that brachial plexus palsy may not be related tosurgical positioning.

Özet

Pektus ekskavatum için Nuss işleminden sonra brakial pleksus palsisi nadiren gerçekleşir. Cerrahiden sonra brakial pleksus palsisine cerrahi konumlanma ile ilişkili sinir gerilimi ve kompresyonu neden olabilir. Bu yazıda, Nuss işleminden sonra kostoklaviküler boşlukta 7.60 mm’den 2.83 mm’ye daralma ve üst çubuğun kaldırılmasını takiben 4.51 mm’ye artış gösteren brakial pleksus palsisi olan 21 yaşında bir erkek hasta bildirildi. Hastanın semptomları tamamen iyileşti. Bulgularımız Nuss işleminden sonra kostoklaviküler boşlukta daralmanın brakial pleksus palsisini tetikleyebildiğini ve brakial pleksus palsisinin cerrahi konumlanma ile ilişkili olmayabileceğini gösterdi.
