Parsonage-Turner syndrome, also known as idiopathic brachial neuritis, is a multifocal, complex inflammatory disorder of the brachial plexus. It is an under-recognized diagnosis that requires increased vigilance to diagnose. We present a case of an abnormal presentation of Parsonage-Turner syndrome 10 weeks after a rotator cuff tear repair surgery. To diagnose this condition, other potential causes should be ruled out effectively with modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine and shoulder, electromyography (EMG), or recent history of inciting events.
Parsonage-Turner综合征，也称为特发性臂丛神经炎，是一种臂丛神经的多灶性、复杂性炎症性疾病。它是一种未得到充分认识的诊断，需要提高警惕以进行诊断。我们报告一例在肩袖撕裂修复手术后10周出现异常表现的Parsonage-Turner综合征病例。为了诊断这种疾病，应通过颈椎和肩部的磁共振成像（MRI）、肌电图（EMG）等检查手段或近期诱发事件的病史有效地排除其他潜在病因。
