Brachial neuritis, or Parsonage-Turner syndrome, is a rare disease characterized by a sudden, self-limiting pain in the upper limb followed by weakness and atrophy of the shoulder girdle muscles. Bilateral brachial plexus involvement occurs in between 10 and 30% of the patients, but symptoms are usually asymmetrical. The most common etiological factors include infection (25 to 55%) and autoimmune conditions. Up to 16% of the patients infected by the new coronavirus variant (SARS-CoV2) had neuromuscular complications. We present the case of a patient with bilateral Parsonage-Turner syndrome shortly after severe COVID-19.
臂丛神经炎，即帕森热-特纳综合征，是一种罕见疾病，其特征为上肢突发、自限性疼痛，随后出现肩胛带肌肉无力和萎缩。10%至30%的患者会出现双侧臂丛神经受累，但症状通常不对称。最常见的病因包括感染（25%至55%）和自身免疫性疾病。感染新型冠状病毒变种（SARS-CoV2）的患者中，高达16%出现了神经肌肉并发症。我们报告一例重症新型冠状病毒肺炎后不久出现双侧帕森热-特纳综合征的患者。
