Idiopathic brachial neuritis also known as Parsonage-Turner syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterised by pain and paraesthesia involving the shoulder girdle and upper limb, followed by weakness of the affected area. The cause is not very well understood and is often misdiagnosed leading to delayed treatment and long-term disability. There are many risk factors for the condition, with immunisations being accountable for as many as 15% of cases. In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many companies have been producing and distributing COVID-19 vaccinations. To our knowledge, there have been 42 cases of brachial neuritis reported following COVID-19 vaccination to date. Here, we report a case of brachial neuritis following a patient's fourth COVID-19 vaccination and present a review of the literature.
特发性臂丛神经炎也称为帕森热-特纳综合征，是一种罕见的神经系统疾病，其特征为累及肩胛带和上肢的疼痛及感觉异常，随后出现受累区域的无力。病因尚不完全清楚，常被误诊，导致治疗延误和长期残疾。该病症有许多风险因素，其中多达15%的病例可归因于免疫接种。为应对2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行，许多公司一直在生产和分发COVID-19疫苗。据我们所知，迄今为止，已有42例接种COVID-19疫苗后发生臂丛神经炎的病例报告。在此，我们报告1例患者在第四次接种COVID-19疫苗后发生臂丛神经炎的病例，并对文献进行综述。
