Medial side of arm numbness after mastectomy: - ps07
#11
In kaplan book it is given that medial side of the arm is supplied by medail brachial cutaneous nerve

Intercostobrachial nerve also supplies medial side of the arm

Is it that only intercostobrachial nerve is involved in mastectomy???????

Thank u

ps07,

kris,
many nerves are injured during mastectomy.your point is right.we have to pick nerve supplying med.side of the arm from answer choices,it could be either of 2.
