AbstractTwo cases of neuralgic amyotrophy occurred 10 and 15 days after delivery, performed with a peridural anesthesia. The initial diagnosis was a brachial plexus stretching during the labor, even though the first symptoms occurred at least 10 days after the delivery. The diagnosis of neuralgic amyotrophy was based on the onset circumstances, the clinical pattern and the electrodiagnostic data. Better knowledge of this pathology should allow an earlier diagnosis and provide reassurance for the patient concerning delayed but almost constant recovery (90%). This also should help prevent unnecessary complementary examinations and surgery, which is never recommended.
