Parsonage-Turner syndrome following severe SARS-CoV-2 infection

CONCLUSIONS: This case shows that persistant dyspnoea after COVID 19 infection should lead to a search for a diaphragmatic cause which is not always the result of Reanimation Neuropathy but may also indicate a neuralgic amyotrophy. It is the fourth case of neuralgic amyotrophy following COVID-19. This brings the medical community to consider the risk of diaphragm paralysis apart from critical illness polyneuropathy. Respiratory muscle evaluation and diaphragmatic ultrasound should be considered in case of persistent dyspnoea.PMID:34325956 | PMC:PMC8233958 | DOI:10.1016/j.rmr.2021.06.004
