摘要
We present the case of an infant with a gunshot lesion in the brachial plexus. Intraoperative nerve action potential recordings suggested posterior cord neurolysis and medial and lateral cord grafting. After 3 years’ follow-up complete recovery of motor and sensory function was seen as a result of immense nerve regeneration capability and brain plasticity. According to our knowledge this is the first reported case of such a mechanism of injury in an infant.
