Bilateral Brachial Neuritis after COVID-19: Case Report.
Rev Bras Ortop (Sao Paulo)
November 2024
Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, São Paulo, SP, Brasil.
Brachial neuritis, or Parsonage-Turner syndrome, is a rare disease characterized by a sudden, self-limiting pain in the upper limb followed by weakness and atrophy of the shoulder girdle muscles. Bilateral brachial plexus involvement occurs in between 10 and 30% of the patients, but symptoms are usually asymmetrical. The most common etiological factors include infection (25 to 55%) and autoimmune conditions.

Introduction: Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS) is a rare idiopathic brachial neuritis that classically presents with sudden onset upper extremity pain followed by upper limb weakness, sensory disruption, and muscle atrophy. We hypothesized that the type of antecedent event before symptom onset would determine the degree of spontaneous recovery after PTS.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who presented with PTS to a single tertiary referral center from January 2002 to December 2021.
Parsonage-Turner Syndrome Following Lumbar Laminectomy and Discectomy: A Unique Case.

September 2024
Orthopaedics, Cooper University Hospital, Camden, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - A 32-year-old woman experienced bilateral Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) after undergoing back surgery (laminectomy/discectomy and fusion of L4-L5).
- - The case highlights the need for doctors to be aware of PTS as a possible diagnosis when patients show related symptoms after surgery, especially when patients are positioned prone.
- - It emphasizes the significance of correct patient positioning during surgery to help prevent such complications.
Immune triggers preceding neuralgic amyotrophy.
Eur J Neurol
December 2024
Department of Neurology, Neurocenter of Southern Switzerland EOC, Lugano, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between infections or vaccinations and the onset of neuralgic amyotrophy (NA), a condition causing nerve pain and weakness.
- Conducted across multiple centers, the research involved matching NA patients with healthy controls while collecting clinical data and biological samples, focusing on prior infections and vaccinations.
- Results showed that 38.6% of NA cases had an identified immune trigger (either an infection or vaccination), with significant associations found between certain viral infections and the severity of the condition.
Neuralgic amyotrophy of Parsonage and Turner. Which nerves are most frequently involved in daily practice? Data from 355 patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed clinical patterns of neuralgic amyotrophy of Parsonage and Turner (NAPT) in 355 patients, focusing on factors like age, sex, and nerve involvement.
- Results showed a mean patient age of 42.7 years, primarily affecting males (61%), with the right side involved in 65% of cases and inflammatory mononeuropathy being the most common nerve lesion.
- The findings indicate that unique mononeuropathy is more prevalent than multiple mononeuropathy, with certain nerves being key indicators for diagnosing NAPT.
