The brachial plexus was more difficult to discern from the surrounding area in neonates compared with adults, especially in the interscalene region because of the smaller amount of connective tissue in and surrounding muscles and nerves. In addition, the large deposits of brown fat make for a different ultrasound appearance of the neonatal neck compared with adults. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: Ultrasound of the neonatal cervical nerve roots is feasible and may be used as a non\u2010invasive screening technique to assess nerve root integrity in obstetric brachial plexus injury. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> <jats:bold>51<\/jats:bold>: 35\u201341, 2015<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.24284","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,10]],"date-time":"2014-05-10T08:30:39Z","timestamp":1399710639000},"page":"35-41","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Ultrasound of the cervical roots and brachial plexus in neonates"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Sigrid","family":"Pillen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital Nijmegen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ben","family":"Semmekrot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital Nijmegen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Meulstee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neurophysiology Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital Weg door Jonkerbos 100 6532 SZ Nijmegen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aad","family":"Verrips","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital Nijmegen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nens","family":"Van Alfen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Clinical Neurophysiology Donders Center for Neuroscience, Radboud University Medical Center Nijmegen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.2004.tb00463.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0026193"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.2012.04310.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nec.2008.07.024"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.10101417"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00247-006-0321-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00247-007-0665-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0887-8994(99)00073-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2004.00773.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AAP.0b013e3181add8a3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.208.2.9680567"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.23503"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.179.3.1790699"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00062-012-0171-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpendo.00691.2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ultrasmedbio.2010.05.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.22254"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00256-012-1471-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-006-0464-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ultrasmedbio.2011.04.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1997.86.1.0069"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"563","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-0712(21)00264-X","article-title":"An approach to obstetric brachial plexus injuries","volume":"11","author":"Clarke H","year":"1995","journal-title":"Hand Clin"}],"container-title":["Muscle &amp;
