Recurrent forms of sporadic brachial plexus neuropathy. A report of two cases.

Abstract:

:Two patients presenting a relapsing form of sporadic brachial plexus neuropathy, the so-called Parsonage Turner syndrome, are reported. The diagnosis is based on clinical and electromyographic features. Recurrent attacks, although infrequently encountered, have been well described in the past. Sporadic cases of this syndrome must be differentiated from the familial varieties of neuralgic amyotrophy in which, two main subgroups of patients are distinguished: those showing facial dysmorphic features and those with findings of a tomaculous neuropathy predisposing them to pressure palsies. Apart from the obvious difference as regards familial occurrence, the familial and non-familial varieties of neuralgic amyotrophy differ in a number of respects: associated congenital defects, early age of onset and high rate of recurrence in the former. Finally some possible pathogenetic mechanisms of the syndrome are briefly reviewed.
