Idiopathic brachial plexus neuritis after laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis: A complication that may mimic position-related brachial plexus injury

摘要

We report the case of a 37-year-old woman who developed idiopathic brachial plexus neuritis, also referred to as Parsonage-Turner syndrome, after laparoscopic excision of endometriosis. The differential diagnosis between this non-position-related neuritis and brachial plexus injury is discussed. The aim of this report was to raise awareness on this distressing postoperative complication.
