Koroner arter bypass greft cerrahisi sonrası gelişen brakiyal pleksus hasarı
Brakiyal pleksus hasarı, koroner arter by pass grefti (CABG) sonrası, özellikle median sternotomi de görülebilen bir komplikasyondur. Yaklaşık üç ay CABG operasyonu geçiren sol kolunda ağrı uyuşma güçsüzlükle kliniğimize başvuran olguda brakialpleksus hasarı klinik, muayene ve elektromiyografi ile tespit edilmiştir. Olgumuz erken dönemde tanı alıp uygun tedaviyledüzelme göstermiştir. Nadir görülen bir komplikasyonun erken tanı ve tedavisiyle yaşam kalitesinde artma ve iyileşmeninsağlanacağı kanısındayız.
Brachial plexus damage following coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Brachial plexus injury is a complication that can be seen after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), especially median sternotomy. Brachial plexus injury was detected by clinical, examination, and electromyography in the presence of pain in the left arm who underwent CABG operation about 3 months ago. Our case was diagnosed early and improved with appropriate treatment. We are of the opinion that early diagnosis and treatment of a rare complication will lead to improvement in quality of life and improvement.
