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.

Article Synopsis
- Porphyrias are genetic disorders that affect heme production, with acute hepatic porphyrias (AHP) like acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) often mimicking neurological conditions, leading to potential misdiagnoses.
- A 41-year-old woman experienced symptoms resembling neuralgic amyotrophy but was ultimately diagnosed with AIP after finding elevated levels of porphobilinogen and delta-aminolevulinic acid, following an initial misdiagnosis.
- This case highlights the importance of considering AIP in patients with acute neuropathies, particularly when they present with abdominal symptoms, to ensure timely and effective treatment.
