Parsonage-Turner Syndrome After COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report.

One week after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine in his left deltoid, a 34-year-old man developed severe right periscapular pain that lasted 2 weeks and was followed by profound right shoulder girdle atrophy and weakness. Both the pain and motor deficits resolved over the subsequent 4 months. Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is an idiopathic brachial plexopathy that can develop in the setting of recent vaccination and lead to significant shoulder pain and weakness. Given the worldwide increase in newly vaccinated patients, orthopaedic surgeons should take detailed histories to identify potential triggers (recent vaccination or illness) that point toward PTS rather than musculoskeletal pathology.

Parsonage-Turner Syndrome After COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report.

A 43-year-old man developed Parsonage-Turner syndrome shortly after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. The patient presented to the hospital 5 days after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine to the right shoulder complaining of severe right shoulder pain, right upper extremity swelling, and weakness. Clinical examination, physical examination, and magnetic resonance imaging findings were consistent with Parsonage-Turner syndrome. It is important that Parsonage-Turner syndrome remains in the differential diagnosis in a patient with severe shoulder pain and weakness after the administration of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Parsonage-Turner syndrome, affecting suprascapular nerve and especially to infraspinatus muscles after COVID-19 vaccination in a professional wrestler, a case report and literature review of causes and treatments.

Acute peripheral neuropathy, also known as Parsonage-Turner syndrome or neuralgic amyotrophy, mostly affects the upper brachial plexus trunks, which include the shoulder girdle. It is typically accompanied by abrupt, intense pain, weakness, and sensory disruption. The etiology and causes of this disease are still unknown because of its low prevalence, however viral reactions-induced inflammation is one of its frequent causes. Here, we introduce a professional wrestler patient who was diagnosed with PTS after vaccination and was treated, and we review some articles in this field. When it comes to shoulder-girdle complaints and pain, Parsonage-Turner syndrome can be a differential diagnosis. Corticosteroids during the acute period, followed by physical therapy, appear to be an efficient way to manage pain, inflammation, muscular atrophy, and the process of recovering to full nerve regeneration.

Parsonage-Turner Syndrome After COVID-19 Vaccination in a Child.

Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is a peripheral neuropathy involving the brachial plexus very rare in childhood. To date, no cases of PTS after COVID-19 vaccination have been reported in children. We report a case of a 15-year-old boy affected by PTS after the second dose of the BNT162b2 (Comirnaty, Pfizer-BioNTech) COVID-19 vaccine.
