Popis: CASE A 22-year-old female patient demonstrated physical examination findings of Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) 5 days after left shoulder arthroscopic surgery with interscalene brachial plexus block. The diagnosis was confirmed with electrodiagnostic testing 2 weeks after surgery. Symptoms resolved spontaneously within 2 years with full return-to-preinjury sport and job activity. These outcomes were maintained at the 10-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS PTS should be considered in the differential diagnoses for any postsurgical neurological variations after upper extremity surgery under regional anesthesia.
