Motor Deficit After Cervical Surgery, Parsonage- Turner Syndrome or Root Lesion
Özet
A 60 years old male patient was admitted to our outpatient clinic with the complaint of severe pain in right arm after cervical stenosis surgery which had been decreased with the formation of progressive motor weakness. Although clinical and physical evaluation was compatable with Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS), C5 root involvement has been detected. The patient was given exercise therapy with TENS for analgesia. The patient%u2019s motor weakness progressed and he had difficulties with daily living activities. With the review of literature, we are presenting a case, whose diagnosis was difficult in terms of differentiating both PTS and root lesion which could only be diagnosed by electroneuromyography.
