Parsonage-Turner Syndrome rather than Zoster Neuritis?
[neuralgic amyotrophy]
We
report
the
case
of
an
86
-
year
-old
man
with
acute
left
shoulder
pain
,
followed
by
left
limb
monoparesis
and
a
herpetic
rash
on
the
left
upper
limb
and
thoracic
region
.
This
situation
presented
a
diagnostic
challenge
because
of
the
simultaneity
of
symptoms
attributable
to
Parsonage-
Turner
syndrome
and
herpes
zoster
neuropathy
.
A
detailed
clinical
history
,
physical
examination
and
electroneuromyography
were
essential
to
distinguish
the
neurological
structures
involved
and
to
ascertain
the
diagnosis
.
