Known by many names including brachial plexitis, brachial plexus neuritis, brachial neuritis, and neuralgic amyotrophy, Parsonage–Turner syndrome (PTS) was first well described by British neurologists M.J. Parsonage and John Turner in The Lancet in 1948. They described “a syndrome of pain and flaccid paralysis of the muscles around the shoulder joint” in 136 patients and remarked on the high incidence of factors preceding the symptoms, of which most patients were found to have a precipitating infection (71), surgical procedure or medical treatment (17), or trauma (10). Though we know more about PTS today, these trends remain overall consistent.
