Abstract:

Parsonage Turner Syndrome (PTS) , also known as Neuralgic Amyotrophy or Brachial Neuritis, is an idiopathic rare condition which is associated with paresis of upper extremity . The incidence is about 1.64 cases per 10000 people and predominantly seen in men. The syndrome is characterised by abrupt pain that arise from the shoulder girdle lasting for about 3 to 4 weeks which is followed by weakness and thereafter muscle wasting , lasting for several months before a variable recovery. Here we report a case of PTS in a 41 year old male patient following administration of the ChAdOx1 nCoV- 19 Corona Virus Vaccine
