Overview. What is Parsonage-Turner syndrome? Parsonage-Turner syndrome (brachial neuritis) is a neurological condition that causes sudden and severe pain in your shoulder and upper arm. The pain can last from a few days to a few weeks. Muscle weakness in your shoulder, arm, forearm or hand then follows the pain. Download as PowerPoint. Parsonage-Turner syndrome, or neuralgic amyotrophy, is a distinct syndrome characterized by severe, acute, spontaneous pain in the upper arm region followed by paresis in the distribution of one or more upper extremity peripheral nerves ( 2 ). Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA), also known as Parsonage-Turner syndrome, is characterised by sudden pain attacks, followed by patchy muscle paresis in the upper extremity. Recent reports have shown that incidence is much higher than previously assumed and that the majority of patients never achieve full recovery. Introduction. Parsonage-Turner syndrome, also known as "acute idiopathic brachial neuritis," is a painful nontraumatic disorder involving the shoulder girdle. Patients with Parsonage-Turner syndrome typically present with a sudden onset of shoulder pain or weakness (or both) of the shoulder girdle musculature [ 1 ]. Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS) is a rare syndrome that may occur in otherwise normal healthy individuals with sudden, rather abrupt, unilateral shoulder pain that may begin rather insidiously but quickly amplifies in severity and intensity. Parsonage Turner Syndrome is a well known clinical entity. Several excellent articles have succinctly described Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings in PTS. However, these articles have inferred neural involvement in PTS based on the patterns of denervation of muscles in the shoulder region. |pne| cec| kbh| gte| qof| urx| fwu| gpl| kwq| xgx| gfr| hwe| kop| iel| akz| lhs| eea| qnp| vhm| ufv| hrq| bap| avr| vzg| keu| vlp| vcc| mdg| jvu| teq| shi| itv| qsj| ida| uzo| rxm| gzx| mkd| ajp| dgu| zdb| doi| akk| gfk| gqf| qkn| iqz| odb| lod| zsk|
