Parsonage–Turner syndrome, also known as acute brachial neuropathy, neuralgic amyotrophy and abbreviated PTS, is a syndrome of unknown cause; although many specific risk factors have been identified (such as; post-operative, post-infectious, post-traumatic or post-vaccination). [4]
Hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy (HNA) is a neuralgic disorder that is characterized by nerve damage and muscle atrophy, preceded by severe pain. [1] In about half of the cases it is associated with a mutation of the SEPT9 gene (17q25).
Brachial plexopathy can also be idiopathic with an unknown cause, in which case it is known as Parsonage-Turner Syndrome. [3] Both brachial and lumbosacral plexopathy can also occur as a consequence of radiation therapy, [ 4 ] sometimes after 30 or more years have passed, in conditions known as Radiation-induced Brachial Plexopathy (RIBP) [ 5 ...
Turner syndrome (TS), commonly known as 45,X, or 45,X0, [note 1] is a chromosomal disorder in which female cells have only one X chromosome instead of two, or are partially missing an X chromosome (sex chromosome monosomy) leading to the complete or partial deletion of the pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1, PAR2) in the affected X chromosome.
Parsonage Turner Syndrome, an autoimmune disease. [11] trauma or infection. [8] Symptoms are often minimal – if symptomatic, a posterior shoulder or scapular burning type of pain may be reported. Some injuries, particularly lesions, can paralyse the serratus anterior muscle to produce a winged scapula.
Exploding head syndrome; Extrapyramidal symptoms; F. FACES syndrome; ... Parry–Romberg syndrome; Parsonage–Turner syndrome; Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome;
The exact cause of stiff person syndrome. Experts theorize the symptoms are triggered by an autoimmune reaction in which the immune system attacks a protein called glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD ...
Differential considerations include similar rotator cuff denervation syndromes such as Parsonage–Turner syndrome, and compression of the suprascapular nerve at the spinoglenoid notch in which the infraspinatus, and to a lesser degree supraspinatus is involved.
