Idiopathic brachial neuritis.
[neuralgic amyotrophy]
Parsonage-
Turner
syndrome
(
PTS
)
is
a
rare
syndrome
of
unknown
cause
,
affecting
mainly
the
lower
motor
neurons
of
the
brachial
plexus
.
The
brachial
plexus
is
a
group
of
nerves
that
conduct
signals
from
the
spine
to
the
shoulder
,
arm
,
and
hand
.
PTS
is
usually
characterized
by
the
sudden
onset
of
severe
1
-
sided
shoulder
pain
,
followed
by
paralysis
of
the
shoulder
and
lack
of
muscle
control
in
the
arm
,
wrist
,
or
hand
several
days
later
.
PTS
can
vary
greatly
in
presentation
and
nerve
involvement
.
Also
known
as
brachial
plexus
neuritis
or
neuralgic
amyotrophy
,
PTS
is
a
common
condition
characterized
by
inflammation
of
a
network
of
nerves
that
control
and
supply
,
or
innervate
,
the
muscles
of
the
chest
,
shoulders
,
and
arms
.
Individuals
with
the
condition
first
experience
severe
pain
across
the
shoulder
and
upper
arm
.
Within
a
few
hours
or
days
,
weakness
,
wasting
(
atrophy
)
,
and
paralysis
may
affect
the
muscles
of
the
shoulder
.
Although
individuals
with
the
condition
may
experience
paralysis
of
the
affected
areas
for
months
or
,
in
some
cases
,
years
,
recovery
is
usually
eventually
complete
.
