| Popis: |
From 1971 to 1983 we observed 58 cases of the Parsonage-Turner syndrome. This is a neuromuscular disease of the shoulder girdle and upper extremity which up to now has been dealt with almost exclusively in the French and Anglo-Saxon literature. The aetiology remains obscure. It is characterised by pain of acute and violent onset with paralysis and wasting of the muscles of no specific nerve root distribution. The diagnosis is based on clinical examination and electromyography. The prognosis is usually favourable. The differential diagnosis and treatment are discussed. |
