Abstract
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings in three patients with acute onset of neuritic shoulder pain and weakness included high signal inte nsity in supra- and infraspinatus muscles (n=2), partial involvement o f infraspinatus muscle (n=1) and of deltoid muscle (n=1), and atrophy of supra- and infraspinatus muscles (n=2). Clinical diagnosis of acute brachial neuritis (Parsonage-Turner syndrome) correlated with MR imag ing results in all cases.
