Abstract:
A previously healthy 38-year-old man presented a typical Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) three weeks after a cold and unusual muscular exercise. In addition to the motor and sensory defects of the upper limbs, a right hemidiaphragmatic paralysis occurred, which proved to be reversible after several months. A brief review of the hemidiaphragmatic injury in PTS is presented.
