A 24-year-old male patient presented with left traumatic brachial plexus injury following MBA 3 months before imaging. a MIP processing of coronal STIR shows high signal and thickened left C5 and focal thickening at the level of the left-sided cords. b MIP of coronal DWIBS shows thickened left C5 and C6 with restricted signal and traumatic neuroma. c Coronal STIR shows retracted avulsed nerves with a focal thickening at the level of the cords. d Axial T2WI shows focal thickening at the level of the cords (white arrow) and retracted nerves (*). e Radial myelography showing pseudomeningocele formation at T1 level. Intraoperative data are ruptured left-sided C5 and C6; avulsed C7, C8, and T1; and traumatic neuroma formation at the level of cords of the brachial plexus with adhesions around after operative repair of an injured subclavian artery immediately after the trauma
