[Radial nerve palsy as a presenting feature of neuralgic amyotrophy].
[neuralgic amyotrophy]
A
28
-
year
-old
man
noticed
weakness
in
his
left
arm
when
he
woke
up
.
He
was
diagnosed
as
left
radial
nerve
palsy
and
managed
conservatively
at
a
local
hospital
.
A
few
days
later
,
severe
pain
of
the
brachium
appeared
.
Although
severe
pain
improved
in
a
year
,
dysesthesia
and
muscle
atrophy
remained
.
On
admission
,
muscle
weakness
and
atrophy
were
found
in
muscles
innervated
predominantly
by
the
left
radial
nerve
.
In
addition
,
needle-electromyography
and
computed
tomography
revealed
the
involvement
of
muscles
innervated
by
the
left
suprascapular
,
long
thoracic
and
axillary
nerves
,
and
we
diagnosed
the
patient
as
neuralgic
amyotrophy
.
Neuralgic
amyotrophy
should
be
kept
in
mind
in
diagnosing
acute
onset
,
painful
radial
palsy
.
