          Abstract

          RESUMEN El síndrome de Parsonage-Tuner es una entidad neurológica poco frecuente de etiología desconocida, asociada con infecciones virales, trauma y antecedentes vacunales. En el marco de la pandemia por COVID-19 se han reportado casos de esta entidad neurológica como complicación infecciosa, con un desarrollo clínico del dolor, la debilidad y estudios electrofisiológicos típicos. Se genera la necesidad de considerar al síndrome de Parsonage-Tuner en los diagnósticos diferencias de las monoplejías en los pacientes con infección por COVID-19, además de fomentar estrategias de abordaje clínico. En la literatura se han descrito menos de 7 casos, siendo este el primero en Latinoamérica.

          ABSTRACT Parsonage-Tuner syndrome is a rare neurological entity of unknown etiology, associated with viral infections, trauma, and vaccinal history. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, cases of this neurological entity have been reported as an infectious complication, with the clinical development of pain, weakness, and typical electrophysiological studies. There is a need to consider Parsonage-Turner syndrome in the differential diagnosis of monoplegia in patients with COVID-19 infection and to promote clinical management strategies. Less than 7 cases have been described in the literature, this being the first in Latin America.

          Clinical Characteristics of 138 Hospitalized Patients With 2019 Novel Coronavirus–Infected Pneumonia in Wuhan, China

          In December 2019, novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)-infected pneumonia (NCIP) occurred in Wuhan, China. The number of cases has increased rapidly but information on the clinical characteristics of affected patients is limited.

            Neurologic Manifestations of Hospitalized Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Wuhan, China

            The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China, is serious and has the potential to become an epidemic worldwide. Several studies have described typical clinical manifestations including fever, cough, diarrhea, and fatigue. However, to our knowledge, it has not been reported that patients with COVID-19 had any neurologic manifestations.

              The clinical spectrum of neuralgic amyotrophy in 246 cases.

              We investigated the symptoms, course and prognosis of neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) in a large group of patients with idiopathic neuralgic amyotrophy (INA, n = 199) and hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy (HNA, n = 47) to gain more insight into the broad clinical spectrum of the disorder. Several findings from earlier smaller-scale studies were tested, and for the first time the potential differences between the hereditary and idiopathic phenotypes and between males and females were explored. Generally, the course of the pain manifests itself in three consecutive phases with an initial severe, continuous pain lasting for approximately 4 weeks on average. Sensory involvement was quite common and found in 78.4% of patients but was clinically less impairing than the initial pain and subsequent paresis. As a typically patchy disorder NA can affect almost any nerve in the brachial plexus, although damage in the upper and middle trunk distribution with involvement of the long thoracic and/or suprascapular nerve occurred most frequently (71.1%). We found no correlation between the distribution of motor and sensory symptoms. In INA recurrent attacks were found in 26.1% of the patients during an average 6 year follow-up. HNA patients had an earlier onset (28.4 versus 41.3 years), more attacks (mean 3.5 versus 1.5) and more frequent involvement of nerves outside the brachial plexus (55.8 versus 17.3%) than INA patients, and a more severe maximum paresis, with a subsequent poorer functional outcome. In males the initial pain tended to last longer than it did in females (45 versus 23 days). In females the middle or lower parts of the brachial plexus were involved more frequently (23.1 versus 10.5% in males), and their functional outcome was worse. Overall recovery was less favourable than usually assumed, with persisting pain and paresis in approximately two-thirds of the patients who were followed for 3 years or more.
