This case series describes 3 cases in which ultrasound-guided intercostobrachial perineural injection was used for @entity9 , a common cause of postmastectomy @entity158 . All cases had undergone modified radical mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection for @entity0 . Two cases developed axillary and unilateral chest wall @entity158 . The third case initially presented with @entity158 and lateral shoulder @entity158 1 year out from radical mastectomy. After a cervical epidural @entity479 injection, her lateral shoulder @entity158 resolved, but she continued to have residual chest wall paresthesia. It was at this time, we decided to treat with an intercostobrachial nerve perineural injection. @entity128 is thought to be a common cause of postmastectomy @entity158 . In our case series, all @entity1 had @entity158 relief after the intercostobrachial perineural injection. There is a relative dearth of published information on the treatment of postmastectomy @entity158 and more specifically @entity9 . We review the anatomy of the intercostobrachial nerve and its variants, etiologies of @entity9 , and current indications and methods of an intercostobrachial perineural injection.
