High-resolution MR neurography follow-up of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination-associated neuralgic amyotrophy.
Ann Clin Transl Neurol
December 2023
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness of high-resolution follow-up imaging using magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) in patients with neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) related to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.* -
- Three patients showed significant clinical improvement and near full recovery of motor function over 8-12 months, regardless of the treatments they received.* -
- MRN imaging proved to be a useful tool for tracking the patients' recovery and correlating imaging results with their clinical progress.*
The epidemiology of toxoplasmosis in pregnancy is a major issue in public health. Toxoplasmosis is caused by the protozoan parasite. Toxoplasma parasite is at high risk for life-threatening diseases during pregnancy.

This case series raises awareness of peripheral nerve torsions and will facilitate an earlier diagnosis by using nerve ultrasound (NUS) and magnetic resonance neurography (MRN). Four patients with previously ambiguous upper-extremity mononeuropathies underwent NUS and 3T MRN.

Methods: In this institutional review board approved prospective study 13 patients with spontaneous AINS were examined at 3 Tesla including a transversal T2-weighted turbo-spin-echo and a spin-echo echo-planar-imaging pulse sequence of the upper arm level. Calculations of quantitative DTI parameters including fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), radial diffusivity (RD), and axial diffusivity (AD) for median nerve lesion and non-lesion fascicles as well as ulnar and radial nerve were obtained.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the imaging appearance and diagnostic value of plexus and peripheral nerve magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) in cervical radiculopathy.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study was approved by our institutional ethics committee and written informed consent was obtained from all participants. A total of 24 patients were included with a diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy based on clinical examination, supporting electrophysiological examinations and spinal imaging consistent with the clinical syndrome.
