“…Although ParsonageTurner Syndrome could also be a reason of unilateral shoulder pain post-vaccination, the history and physical exam lacked signs and symptoms of neuralgias, sensory changes, atrophy, and arm weakness. 10 Additionally, as 2 out of 3 patients were elderly, age-related degenerative changes could have attributed to the pain and limitation of motion. However, given the acute onset of these changes and timely association with vaccination, age-related changes were unlikely to be the cause even with radiologic evidence of mild degenerative changes.…”

Objective: Adhesive capsulitis has been suggested as an adverse effect of vaccine administration into the shoulder area. The purpose of this case series is to report 3 cases of acute onset of adhesive capsulitis following pneumococcal and influenza vaccines. Clinical Features: Patients reported painful shoulder and limited motion following routine vaccination. After clinical examination, a diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis was noted. Intervention and Outcome: All 3 patients were treated conservatively with physical therapy (active ranges of motion and active-assisted motion), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and activity modification with eventual resolution of symptoms. Conclusion: Reports implicating vaccination with adhesive capsulitis are rare. This case series raises the awareness of pneumococcal and influenza vaccinations as possible causes of adhesive capsulitis that appear to respond to standard treatment. Although vaccines are of tremendous importance in the prevention of serious illness, we emphasize the importance of administering them at the appropriate depth and location for each patient.

“…This is often worse at night. The symptoms are generally unilateral, with no difference with respect to hand dominance 2 5. A report on 246 patients, diagnosed with both INA and HNA, revealed a mean duration of this initial severe pain of around 4 weeks, although 4.9% and 22.7% experienced resolution within 48 h and 1–7 days, respectively 4.…”

“…The pattern of paresis is highly variable and may be patchy or confined to a single peripheral nerve 6. Occasionally nerves not originating from the plexus may be involved; however, the upper branches of the plexus are more commonly affected: the long thoracic, suprascapular and axillary nerves 4 5. Winging of the scapula is a common examination finding, being observed in up to 66% of cases 7.…”

Brachial neuritis following a corticosteroid injection

SUMMARYThis report presents a case of brachial neuritis following a subacromial corticosteroid injection. The patient developed an anterior interosseous neuropathy shortly after the injection, with no other trigger being identified. This neuropathy has unfortunately not shown any sign of recovery at 2 years. The authors propose that corticosteroid injection be added to the list of possible triggering events of brachial neuritis and highlight the frequent use of oral corticosteroids in its treatment. (1) The injection of local anaesthetic and corticosteroid should be considered as a potential trigger for brachial neuritis. (2) Brachial neuritis should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with severe arm pain and weakness. (3) The nerves originating from the upper trunk of the brachial plexus are most commonly affected. (4) The anterior interosseous nerve is involved in one-third of cases. BACKGROUND

“…Viral illness or autoimmune responses have been considered the most common risk factors for PTS. Moreover, there appears to be an association between several conditions with vasculitic component and the development of PTS [1]. PTS is usually characterized by the sudden onset of severe shoulder and upper arm pain followed by motor involvement (weakness and atrophy) several days later.…”
