Abstract
Nerve hypertrophy is one of the characteristic features of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). The brachial plexus runs along the gap between the anterior and medial scalene muscles (interscalene gap), and its enlargement sometimes appears as widening of the interscalene gap on conventional axial cervical spine MRI.
