Phrenic neuropathy due to neuralgic amyotrophy.

[neuralgic amyotrophy]

The authors reviewed the medical records of 33 patients diagnosed with idiopathic phrenic neuropathy and found that 17 patients had clinical features of neuralgic amyotrophy. They concluded that a careful clinical and electrodiagnostic evaluation may implicate neuralgic amyotrophy as a causative disease in patients with apparently isolated phrenic neuropathy.
