In addition, we have areas of anaesthesia over the shoulder,due to involvement of the sensory fibres of the circumflex, andover the radial surface of the forearm, due to the involvementof the sensory fibres of the musculo-cutaneous nerve. Thearea of impaired sensibility over the suprascapular region isprobably due to involvement of some of the sensory branchesof the cervical
