RESUMEN
Se presenta el caso de un varón de 17 años con diagnóstico de síndrome de Parsonage-Turner recidivante en brazo derecho. En su historial clínico se diagnosticó neuralgia amiotrófica de miembro superior en tres ocasiones anteriores, con clínica semejante en cada uno de los episodios, aunque alternándose el miembro superior afecto. Estuvo en tratamiento en los Servicios de Rehabilitación de dos centros hospitalarios. A la exploración física en cada recidiva presenta dolor intenso en el hombro y brazo, y pérdida de fuerza en escápula y miembro superior afecto. El objetivo de su tratamiento combina tratamiento del dolor y, junto con fisioterapia, luchar contra la atrofia muscular que presenta. El paciente evolucionó favorablemente en cada uno de los episodios que presentó y, en la actualidad, se muestra asintomático y dado de alta en el servicio de Rehabilitación.
ABSTRACT
We present the case of a 17-year-old male whose diagnosis is Parsonage-Turner syndrome relapsing in the right arm. In his medical record, he was diagnosed as having amyotrophic neuralgia of the upper limb in three previous occasions. The diagnosis was similar in all episodes, although the affected upper limb was alternating. He was treated in the Rehabilitation Services of two hospitals. At physical examination, in every relapse, he showed acute pain in both, shoulder and arm, and loss of strength in the shoulder blade and the affected upper limb. The aim of his treatment combines the healing of the pain and, together with physiotherapy, fighting against muscular atrophy. The patient evolved favourably in each of the episodes. Nowadays, he does not show any symptom, and he has been discharged from the rehabilitation service.
