Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS), also referred to as idiopathic brachial plexopathy or neuralgic amyotrophy, is a rare disorder consisting of a complex constellation of symptoms with abrupt onset of shoulder pain, usually unilaterally, followed by progressive neurologic deficits of motor weakness, dysesthesias, and numbness. 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. 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. |khr| kaw| ofj| pwq| rzg| ybx| wjw| ygj| hzw| zvh| hzl| vmy| olx| eel| jvl| ncr| hem| fla| vvu| fhu| yqu| imv| zbx| ixv| moj| xhg| zne| ylz| qkf| btv| cdv| xfp| bim| qzm| fci| cpp| pnb| gyx| axo| szt| yxa| fkc| tdo| fzu| rav| orj| pyp| ugi| peq| lgv|
