Klumpke's paralysis is a variety of partial palsy of the lower roots of the brachial plexus.[1][2] The brachial plexus is a network of spinal nerves that originates in the back of the neck, extends through the axilla (armpit), and gives rise to nerves to the upper limb.[3][4][5][6] The paralytic condition is named after Augusta Déjerine-Klumpke.[7][8][9]
