Neuralgic amyotrophy: uncommon but not rare.
[neuralgic amyotrophy]
Neuralgic
amyotrophy
is
an
uncommon
but
not
a
rare
clinical
syndrome
characterized
by
the
sudden
onset
of
acute
severe
pain
most
frequently
in
the
shoulder
girdle
or
arm
followed
within
2
weeks
by
weakness
and
sometimes
sensory
loss
.
It
is
idiopathic
with
a
suspected
autoimmune
etiology
.
Electrodiagnostic
studies
and
MRI
are
helpful
in
confirming
the
diagnosis
and
ruling
out
other
potential
diagnoses
.
Correct
diagnosis
is
important
to
avoid
inappropriate
invasive
testing
and
surgery
.
Treatment
is
symptomatic
,
with
the
role
of
corticosteroids
uncertain
.
While
the
prognosis
is
generallygood
,
over
10
%
still
have
significant
disability
3
years
post
onset
.
