Abstract
Patients (9) with plexopathies or proximal mononeuropathies due to mass lesions are described. In 4, computed tomography (CT) was the only radiological technique to show the cause of the neuropathy. In 5 patients, CT either confirmed the presence of an abnormality or was superior to other imaging techniques in showing its full anatomical extent. CT scanning is a valuable aid in the assessment of lesions of the peripheral nervous system, particularly plexopathies and mononeuropathies caused by retroperitoneal, pelvic or superior pulmonary sulcus tumors.
