Parsonage-Tuner syndrome is a rare neurological entity of unknown etiology, associated with viral infections, trauma, and vaccinal history. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, cases of this neurological entity have been reported as an infectious complication, with the clinical development of pain, weakness, and typical electrophysiological studies. There is a need to consider Parsonage-Turner syndrome in the differential diagnosis of monoplegia in patients with COVID-19 infection and to promote clinical management strategies. Less than 7 cases have been described in the literature, this being the first in Latin America.

Keywords : COVID-19; pain; Parsonage-Turner; rehabilitation; electrodiagnosis.
