Wanted to bounce this one by.
40 yo male baggage handler gets a routine shoulder MRI for RCT due to “weakness with abduction.” No trauma.
There is diffuse mild edema of the entire visualized pec major and the clavicular origin of the ant deltoid.
T1s are normal with no increases fat or volume loss. Rest of the shoulder girdle musculature all normal. Nothing that looks like injury … just diffuse mild increase T2
I want to call it Parsonage-Turner / brachial radiculitis but I have never seen this distribution and I can’t work out in my brain what nerve/s
Thoughts?
