Introduction to Parsonage Turner Syndrome

Parsonage-Turner syndrome is a rare neurological disease of varying etiology characterized by severe shoulder pain, muscle weakness, and atrophy.

CASE Parsonage-Turner syndrome, also known as brachial neuritis or neuralgic amyotrophy, is characterized by sudden-onset pain and subsequent weakness of the shoulder.

The Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) or immune-mediated brachial plexopathy is a monophasic illness with well-described semiology and reasonable insights into pathogenesis.

EMG/NCV studies plays an important role in detecting and localizing neurological injury and in differentiating from conditions that mimic cervical root injuries, including brachial plexus trauma due to positioning and Parsonage-Turner syndrome.

We describe a 37-year-old man with neuralgic amyotrophy (Parsonage-Turner syndrome) caused by Parvovirus B19 infection.

Initially a diagnostic challenge, after electrophysiological studies, Parsonage-Turner syndrome was considered.

To the neurologist, an isolated neuritis or an immune-mediated medial cord or lower trunk brachial plexopathy (Parsonage-Turner syndrome) is the usual mode of presentation.

" The patient's presentation and recovery raise the possibility of Parsonage-Turner syndrome.

Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS), also known as idiopathic brachial plexopathy or neuralgic amyotrophy, was first described by Julius Dreschfeld in 1887.

CASE A 22-year-old female patient demonstrated physical examination findings of Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) 5 days after left shoulder arthroscopic surgery with interscalene brachial plexus block.

Vaccination is one of the several known triggers of Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS).

Respiratory and neurological check-up led to a diagnosis of the Parsonage-Turner syndrome or neuralgic amyotrophy affecting C5-C6 nerve roots, the lateral pectoral and phrenic nerves at the origin of the scapular belt, amyotrophy and left diaphragm paralysis.

Respiratory and neurological check-up led to a diagnosis of the Parsonage-Turner syndrome or neuralgic amyotrophy affecting C5-C6 nerve roots, the lateral pectoral and phrenic nerves at the origin of the scapular belt, amyotrophy and left diaphragm paralysis.

INA, also known as Parsonage-Turner syndrome, is an uncommon peripheral nerve disorder characterized by the rapid onset of upper extremity pain followed by weakness, atrophy, and sensory disturbances.

Concluding that the presence of the Gantzer muscle caused anterior interosseous nerve compressive syndrome was mainly a diagnosis of exclusion, after careful consideration of other possible etiologies including carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical radiculopathy, and Parsonage-Turner Syndrome.

Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS), also known as brachial neuritis or neuralgic amyotrophy, is a rare disorder affecting 2 to 3 individuals per 100,000 each year.

A presumptive diagnosis of Parsonage-Turner syndrome was made, and conservative measures were initiated.

The patient was diagnosed with Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) (figures 1 and 2, video 1).

Dear Editor, Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) or neura lg ic amiotrophy (NA) is a rare disorder characterised by severe neuropathic pain and subsequent patchy paresis in the upper extremity.

Parsonage-Turner syndrome should form part of the differential diagnosis of shoulder pain.

Rationale: Parsonage-Turner syndrome is a rare syndrome of unknown etiology, affecting mainly the lower motor neurons of the brachial plexus.

This raised the possibility of Parsonage-Turner syndrome with superadded traumatic changes in left shoulder (Figure 1 and 2).

This clinical picture probably corresponds to a neuralgic amyotrophy, an inflammatory disorder of the brachial plexus known by a number of terms, including Parsonage-Turner syndrome.

Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is a clinical syndrome characterized by rapid onset of upper extremity pain typically followed by varying degrees of weakness and atrophy.

The aim of this study is to directly visualize the distribution and extent of abnormality in MR Neurography (MRN) of the brachial plexus in known cases of brachial plexus neuritis or Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS).

Parsonage-Turner syndrome, also known as neuralgic amyotrophy, is a rare disorder characterized by painful clinical manifestations mainly involving the upper limbs.

This clinical picture probably corresponds to a neuralgic amyotrophy, an inflammatory disorder of the brachial plexus known by a number of terms, including Parsonage-Turner syndrome.
