摘　　要：A case of brachial plexus neuropraxia occurring during CT-guided radiofrequency ablation is reported in a patient with a narrow costoclavicular space. We discuss clinical methods of identifying patients with a narrow costoclavicular space who are at risk of position-related injury of the brachial plexus during anaesthesia. Identifying high risk patients and proper positioning during anaesthesia are hallmarks of preventing such injuries.A case of brachial plexus neuropraxia occurring during CT-guided radiofrequency ablation is reported in a patient with a narrow costoclavicular space.
