Histology of hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy.

Hereditary 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.

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...

Neuralgic 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. Unilateral disease is more common clinically but if electromyographic (EMG) studies are performed bilatera...
