Challenging pain syndromes: Parsonage-Turner syndrome.
[neuralgic amyotrophy]
Parsonage-
Turner
syndrome
(
PTS
)
is
a
rare
disorder
typically
characterized
by
an
abrupt
onset
of
upper
extremity
pain
followed
by
progressive
neurologic
deficits
,
including
weakness
,
atrophy
,
and
occasionally
sensory
abnormalities
.
The
exact
cause
and
pathophysiology
of
PTS
are
complex
and
incompletely
understood
.
Autoimmune
,
genetic
,
infectious
,
and
mechanical
processes
have
all
been
implicated
.
No
specific
treatments
have
been
proven
to
reduce
neurologic
impairment
or
improve
the
prognosis
of
PTS
.
Most
patients
with
PTS
are
treated
with
a
multidisciplinary
approach
that
includes
both
physical
therapy
and
pharmacologic
treatment
,
often
with
multiple
agents
.
Further
research
is
needed
.
