The symptoms are related to brachial plexus neuritis. The precise aetiopathogenesis is unknown. Some patients recover, other show a relapsing and remitting course, others do not show improvement. MRI has been reported to reveal early an increased signal intensity on T2-weighted spin-echo images in the affected shoulder muscles, related to neurogenic oedema. In more chronic cases, signs of denervation atrophy can be seen on T1-weighted spin- echo images, demonstrating an increased signal intensity and reduction of muscle volume. Imaging is also useful to exclude other causes of shoulder pain and muscle atrophy (e.g. periarticular ganglion).
