A young woman experienced sudden, temporary cervical plexopathy affecting superficial nerves. Idiopathic causes, possibly autoimmune or muscular entrapment, are hypothesized for this rare neurological condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroanatomy

Background:

  • Cervical plexopathy can arise from various causes, including trauma and surgical complications.
  • Understanding the specific nerve branches involved is crucial for diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old woman presented with acute, transient symptoms of cervical plexopathy.
  • The condition specifically affected the left superficial/cutaneous branches and left cervical sensory dorsal rami.
  • No clear etiology such as trauma, tumors, or surgical/anesthetic complications was identified.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with idiopathic cervical plexopathy due to the absence of identifiable causes.
  • The acute onset and rapid resolution suggest a non-progressive underlying mechanism.

Implications:

  • The case highlights the possibility of autoimmune reactions as a cause of cervical plexopathy.
  • Muscular entrapment is proposed as an alternative idiopathic etiology.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the pathogenesis of such cases.
