Challenging diagnosis and inpatient rehabilitation of acute bilateral neuralgic amyotrophy possibly attributed to Lyme disease-A case report

Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a neurological syndrome of unknown etiology primarily affecting the brachial plexus. We are reporting an unusual case of acute bilateral NA that was possibly secondary to Lyme disease. The patient demonstrated significant functional gains and was discharged home after 2 weeks of inpatient rehabilitation, supporting the role of inpatient rehabilitation in acute NA. In this report, we discussed the diagnosis, electrodiagnostic progression, pain management, goals for inpatient rehabilitation and overall prognosis of NA.
