Abstract
We have experienced 3 cases of motor disorder of the shoulder and sensory extrication of the lateral aspect of the shoulder due to strokes. Different from Duchenne-Erb and Klumpke type paralysis of brachial plexus in symptom, functional disturbance of fingers and bending disorder of the elbow joint were recognized. One of the 3 was completely restored by concervative program. Neurolysis of the axillary nerve was carried out in the other 2. In one of them, sensational disorder recovered at first and then muscle force gradually. The rest 1 case showed no tendency of symptoms to improvement until approximately ten months following injury but, before one knows, the patient suddenly maintained a good range of shoulder motion.
These 3 cases seem to be similar to the quadrilateral space syndrome reported by Bateman.
