Article Abstract
A 61-year-old man developed progressive weakness, numbness, and exercise-induced vascular symptoms in the left hand. There was left thenar wasting. The presence of a supraclavicular bruit and vascular studies indicated left subclavian arter y stenosis, but electrophysiological studies demonstrated no evidence for brachial plexopathy. Subsequent neuroimaging studies revealed multifocal right cerebral infarction. Focal atrophy and weakness from a cerebral lesion can simulate a brachial plexu s lesion.
