Pediatric Hereditary Neuralgic Amyotrophy
Hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy is a rare disorder characterized by the sudden onset of recurrent episodes of painful brachial plexus neuropathies, followed by atrophy within a few weeks. The authors present the case of a 5-year-old boy who developed hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy in the right upper limb after a gastroenteritis illness. He made a full and rapid recovery with the use of intrave...
متن کاملHistology of hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy.
We report the findings in five muscle and three sural nerve biopsies, and in one postmortem plexus specimen, from six patients with hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy (HNA). We found that the sensory nerves are definitely involved in HNA despite the mainly motor symptoms, and that lesions in nerves and muscles are more widespread throughout the peripheral nervous system than clinically presumed, b...

متن کاملHereditary neuralgic amyotrophy associated with a relapsing multifocal sensory neuropathy.
A family with neuralgic amyotrophy (idiopathic brachial plexus neuropathy) associated with a multifocal sensory neuropathy is described. Four members over two generations were affected by neuralgic amyotrophy, inherited as an apparent autosomal dominant trait; two also had a multifocal relapsing sensory neuropathy with the clinical features of Wartenberg's migrant neuropathy.
متن کاملDiabetic neuralgic amyotrophy.
Introduction Neuralgic amyotrophy (acute paralytic brachial neuritis) is a well defined clinical entity (Parsonage and Turner, 1948). Its characteristic presentation is usually intense pain in one or both shoulders followed after a variable interval, from several hours to days, by weakness and later wasting of the affected muscles. The overall prognosis is excellent, despite the severity and ex...
