Neuralgic Amyotrophy Manifesting as Mimicking Posterior Interosseous Nerve Palsy
The upper trunk of the brachial plexus is the most common area affected by neuralgic amyotrophy (NA), and paresis of the shoulder girdle muscle is the most prevalent manifestation. Posterior interosseous nerve palsy is a rare presentation in patients with NA. It results in dropped finger on the affected side and may be misdiagnosed as entrapment syndrome or compressive neuropathy. We report an ...
متن کاملNeuralgic amyotrophy with bilateral diaphragmatic palsy.
Neuralgic amyotrophy is a well recognised condition of unknown aetiology with characteristic clinical features.' These include severe pain in the shoulder region, followed within hours or weeks by motor or sensory abnormalities, or both, in the distribution of the cervical roots or nerves.

متن کاملPosterior interosseous nerve palsy in rheumatoid arthritis.
Bilateral posterior interosseous nerve palsy in a rheumatoid patient is described. Six previous case reports and our experience indicate that steroid injection into the elbow may not produce lasting recovery and may lead to unacceptable delay before surgical decompression. An anterolateral approach for division of the arcade of Frohse is effective in cases with diffuse synovitis; where there is...
متن کاملCranial Nerve Involvement in Neuralgic Amyotrophy
Neuralgic Amyotrophy (NA) is generally conceived as a multifocal neuropathy of the brachial plexus. However, different atypical forms with the involvement of other peripheral nerves, such as the lumbosacral plexus, the intercostal and the phrenic nerve and the cranial nerves (CNs), have been reported in the literature. In an attempt to shed more light on the atypical presentation of NA with CN ...
