Parsonage-Turner syndrome or neuralgic amyotrophy is a rare syndrome that presents with sudden and severe pain in the shoulder girdle and may cause loss of muscle strength, atrophy, and sensory deficits. We discuss the clinical and electroneuromyographic findings in a young woman who presented with left-sided arm pain and was diagnosed with Parsonage-Turner syndrome with C8 root involvement, which is a rare presentation of the disease.

Background: Transfer of the supinator motor branches to the posterior interosseous nerve (SPIN) was first described as a reliable method of restoration of digit extension in cases of paralysis when there is retained function in the 5th and 6th cervical nerve roots with loss of function in the 8th cervical nerve root.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all the SPIN transfers that were performed in our unit which included 16 limbs in 14 patients over a 6-year period. The median age was 49 years (range 22-74).
