Uncovering Ankylosing Spondylitis from a Diagnosis of Parsonage-Turner Syndrome: A Case Report of Bilateral Shoulder Pain and Weakness.

Abstract

Parsonage-Turner syndrome is a rare condition that is often misdiagnosed by physicians due to the overlapping symptoms with other conditions such as rotator cuff injury and cervical radiculopathy. The etiology of the Parsonage-Turner syndrome is unknown, but has been associated with an immune-mediated response to rheumatic disease, infection, surgery, and immunizations.
