right brachial plexus, which is bulky, edematous with T2W, STIR hyperintensities.
An ill-defined T2W hyper intensity is noted along the C8 exiting nerve root on right side- likely

T2W, STIR hyperintensities are also noted in thickened roots of right brachial plexus with
possible disruption of the C6, C7, and C8 nerve roots .
