Hourglass-Like Constriction of the Brachial Plexus in an Adult Patient: A Case Report
The case highlights the importance of considering HLC in cases of idiopathic brachial plexus palsy, even when imaging does not exhibit clear torsions. Surgery should be considered especially if there is no spontaneous recovery after 6 months. The choice of surgical technique should depend on the severity of the constriction and the expertise of the surgeon.
