Brachial plexus gunshot injury in an infant

We present the case of an infant with a gunshot lesion in the brachial plex us. Intraoperative nerve action potential recordings suggested posterior co rd neurolysis and medial and lateral cord grafting. After 3 years' follow-u p complete recovery of motor and sensory function was seen as a result of i mmense 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.
