Abstract
Idiopathic neuralgic amyotrophy (INA) is a disorder presented with acute severe pain in the upper extremity, followed by muscle weakness, paralysis and atrophy. INA is rare in children and few reports are found in the literature. Here, we report a case of INA in an 8-year old boy following pharyngitis.- Neuralgic Amyotrophy
