Abstract

Brachial neuritis is a rare disorder of unknown etiology that affects the lower motor neurons of the brachial plexus. The clinical course is characterized by acute onset of severe pain followed by weakness and gradual recovery. Among diagnostic tests, electromyography may be useful. The brachial neuritis has been confused with other painful shoulder conditions. The awareness of this disorder helps prevent unwarranted diagnostic studies & treatment. The authors report a case of brachial neuritis.
