[Abstract] The most cause of brachial plexus injury in infants is traction on shoulder in the process of delivery. Delayed diagnosis and treatment, missed optimal opportunity for treatment, will lead to children leave over varying degrees of limb dysfunction. With the development of magnetic resonance technology, the application of magnetic resonance imaging in adult brachial plexus has been more matured. However, the application of MRI in children, especially in infants, has just begun. Through literature study and combined with the clinical application experience of MRI in infants with brachial plexus injury in Beijing children's hospital and Baoding children's hospital, the author reviewed the latest progress of MRI technology in infants with brachial plexus injury.
