Little is known about the value of high-resolution follow-up imaging in patients with neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) and the question of the best treatment algorithm remains unclear. Three patients (one female, two male) with the clinical presentation of SARS-CoV-2-vaccination-associated NA underwent initial magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) imaging and follow-up examinations. All patients showed a marked clinical improvement, independent of treatment, including an almost full recovery of motor function over the course of 8-12 months which was accurately mirrored by imaging findings on MRN. MRN imaging is a valuable tool for monitoring the further clinical course of patients suffering from vaccination-associated NA.
关于神经痛性肌萎缩（NA）患者进行高分辨率随访成像的价值知之甚少，最佳治疗方案仍不清楚。三名（女性 1 名，男性 2 名）具有 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗接种相关 NA 临床表现的患者接受了初始磁共振神经成像（MRN）检查和随访检查。所有患者均表现出明显的临床改善，与治疗无关，包括运动功能在 8-12 个月内几乎完全恢复，MRN 成像结果准确反映了这一点。MRN 成像对于监测接种相关 NA 患者的进一步临床病程是一种有价值的工具。
