Abstract

The pathophysiologic processes underlying plexus lesions and their recognition by electromyographic examination are detailed in this article. The nerve conduction studies most helpful for localization of plexopathies are discussed, and the electromyographic findings of the most commonly encountered plexopathies are described.
