Idiopathic brachial neuritis (IBN), also known as Parsonage-Turner syndrome, can occur after surgery. Early recognition of postsurgical IBN is crucial for accurate diagnosis and predicting recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Idiopathic brachial neuritis (IBN) is a neurological disorder causing pain and muscle weakness in the shoulder and arm.
  • Postsurgical IBN is infrequently recognized, despite being noted in early descriptions of the condition.

Observation:

  • This study presents six patients who developed IBN symptoms 1-13 days after surgery.
  • The patients met established clinical and electrophysiologic criteria for IBN.

Findings:

  • Postsurgical IBN is an under-recognized complication following surgical procedures.
  • It is often misdiagnosed as brachial plexus stretch injury during anesthesia.

Implications:

  • Recognizing postsurgical IBN can prevent unnecessary surgical interventions.
