(brachialplexustreatment.com)
Network of nerves3

Brachial plexus is a complex interconnected network of nerves in the neck formed by contributions from C5 to T1 which divide reconnect and form peripheral nerves. (boneandspine.com)
Weakness3
Brachial plexus injury leads to weakness or a partial or complete paralysis of the involved upper limb depending on the nerves injured. (brachialplexustreatment.com)
This is known as neuralgic amyotrophy, and brachial neuritis is characterized by pain in the ipsilateral arm and muscle weakness from atrophy. (prohealthclinic.co.uk)
This ranges from neck pain alone to neck pain associated with other symptoms of moderate severity of neurological symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness, while the most severe form includes those with fracture and dislocation. (epainassist.com)

It is called Erb palsy or Klumpke palsy, depending on which part of the plexus is injured. (lluh.org)
Nerves in the neck1
The brachial plexus is a bundle of connected nerves in the neck region of your spinal cord. (lluh.org)
Spinal nerves4
The brachial plexus is formed by a union of anterior rami of the lower four cervical (C5 through C8) and the first thoracic (T1) spinal nerves between the anterior and middle scalene muscles. (brachialplexustreatment.com)
Plexopathy refers to a disorder affecting nerves, blood or lymph vessels in the regions of the brachial or lumbosacral plexus, the two major plexus in the body. (boneandspine.com)
