Magnetic resonance neurographic findings in classic idiopathic neuralgic amyotrophy in subacute stage: a report of four cases.
[neuralgic amyotrophy]
Neuralgic
amyotrophy
(
NA
)
is
characterized
by
acute
onset
of
severe
pain
,
followed
by
muscular
weakness
and
wasting
of
the
shoulder
girdle
.
While
the
diagnosis
of
NA
mainly
relies
on
the
clinical
history
and
examination
,
some
investigations
including
electrophysiologic
study
and
radiologic
study
may
help
to
confirm
the
diagnosis
.
Magnetic
resonance
neurography
(
MRN
)
,
a
new
technique
for
the
evaluation
of
peripheral
nerve
disorders
,
can
be
helpful
in
the
diagnosis
of
NA
.
MRN
presents
additional
benefits
in
comparison
to
conventional
magnetic
resonance
imaging
in
the
diagnosis
of
idiopathic
NA
(
INA
)
.
In
this
report
,
we
present
the
first
four
cases
of
classic
INA
diagnosed
with
MRN
in
subacute
stage
.
MRN
imaging
modality
should
be
considered
in
patients
clinically
suspected
of
INA
.
