Abstract
Idiopathic brachial neuritis is a disease by asymmetrical involvement of the brachial plexus, causing sudden onset, severe pain, muscle weakness, loss of function and sensation. It can be confused with many musculoskeletal problems. İdiopathic brachial neuritis should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of new-onset shoulder pain. Early recognition of this condition can prevent unnecessary surgical intervention. In this case report, we aimed to present a rare case of brachial neuritis with isolated long thoracic nerve involvement, defined by typical clinical and lectroneuromyography findings, and differential diagnostic tests

Abstract
İdiyopatik brakiyal nörit, brakiyal pleksusun asimetrik tutulumu ile karakterize, ani başlangıçlı, şiddetli ağrı, kas güçsüzlüğü, fonksiyon ve duyu kaybına neden olan bir hastalıktır. Birçok kas-iskelet sistemi problemiyle karışabilmektedir. Yeni başlayan omuz ağrısında ayırıcı tanıda idiyopatik brakiyal nörit akılda bulundurulmalıdır. Bu durumun erken tanınması gereksiz cerrahi müdahaleyi önleyebilir. Bu olgu sunumunda, tipik klinik ve elektronöromiyografi bulguları ve ayırıcı tanı testleriyle tanımlanan, izole torasikus longus sinir tutulumu ile seyreden nadir bir brakiyal nörit vakasını sunmayı amaçladık.
