We examined 7 adults with brachial plexus injury following liver transplantation;they were among 120 transplants performed over a 10-month period(incidence,5.8%).The lesion was right-sided in 5 patients,left-sided in 1,and bilateral in 1.The affected side correlated with the axillary veno-venous shunt in 3 lesions only.All noted weakness and sensory loss shortly after recovery from general anesthesia.The EMG examination indicated axonal lesions,and recovery was protracted. |
