ABSTRACT
Parsonage-Turner Syndrome or neuralgic amyotrophy is a peripheral neuropathy typically characterized by an abrupt onset of pain, followed by progressive neurological deficits (e.g. weakness, atrophy, occasionally sensory abnormalities) that involve the upper limb, mainly the shoulder, encompassing an extensive spectrum of clinical manifestations, somehow difficult to recognize. This case report describes the proper management of a 35-year-old, bank employee and sports amateur who reported subtle and progressive upper limb disorder with previous history of neck pain. SARS-CoV-2 pandemic era made patient's access to the healthcare system more complicated. Nevertheless, proper management of knowledge, relevant aspects of telerehabilitation-based consultation for musculoskeletal pain, advanced skills, tools and technologies led the physiotherapist to suspect an atypical presentation of Parsonage-Turner Syndrome. Further, neurologist consultation and electromyography suggested signs of denervation in the serratus anterior and supraspinatus muscle. Therefore, an appropriate physiotherapist's screening for referral is conducted to correct diagnosis and thorough treatment.
