Parsonage-turner syndrome.
[neuralgic amyotrophy]
Parsonage-
Turner
Syndrome
(
PTS
)
,
also
referred
to
as
idiopathic
brachial
plexopathy
or
neuralgic
amyotrophy
,
is
a
rare
disorder
consisting
of
a
complex
constellation
of
symptoms
with
abrupt
onset
of
shoulder
pain
,
usually
unilaterally
,
followed
by
progressive
neurologic
deficits
of
motor
weakness
,
dysesthesias
,
and
numbness
.
Although
the
etiology
of
the
syndrome
is
unclear
,
it
is
reported
in
various
clinical
situations
,
including
postoperatively
,
postinfectious
,
posttraumatic
,
and
postvaccination
.
The
identification
of
the
syndrome
in
the
postoperative
patient
remains
a
challenge
as
symptoms
may
easily
be
attributed
to
sequelae
of
surgical
positioning
,
postoperative
recovery
,
or
postanesthetic
block
pain
.
The
purpose
of
this
review
is
to
bring
forth
salient
,
identifiable
factors
which
may
assist
the
surgical
clinician
in
identifying
the
condition
sooner
.
An
early
and
proper
diagnosis
affords
the
opportunity
to
treat
the
patient
accordingly
and
to
the
satisfaction
of
both
surgeon
and
patient
.
