Síndrome de Parsonage – Turner en paciente sometido a cirugía de revascularización miocárdica. Caso Clínico

Resumen

We report a 59 years old male who, three weeks after a coronary revascularization surgery, reported a sudden intense burning pain in his left upper limb. Two weeks later, he reports a paresis with difficulty to extend his left wrist and fingers. The electromyography showed a severe axonal damage of the radial nerve with distal denervation signs. This clinical picture probably corresponds to a neuralgic amyotrophy, an inflammatory disorder of the brachial plexus known by a number of terms, including Parsonage-Turner syndrome.
