Parsonage-Turner Syndrome Following AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccination.

Abstract

Introduction: Parsonage-Turner Syndrome is an uncommon cause of shoulder pain.

Case representation: Herein, we present the case of a male in his 40s, who was presented with a 3-month history of acute onset of intense shoulder pain, which decreased rapidly leaving behind a residual upper limb weakness. The diagnosis of Parsonage-Turner Syndrome following COVID-19 vaccination was made based on electroneuromyography and magnetic resonance imaging findings. The patient responded well to analgesics and rehabilitation.

Conclusion: A better knowledge of this disease and early recognition are crucial to prevent unnecessary tests and interventions.
