[Painless apoplectiform paralysis of the brachial plexus].
A 40 year-old glass-blower suddenly experienced a painless weakness of his left shoulder and arm, more severe in C5 and C6 territories. The disorders regressed. Il was suspected that this brachial plexus neuropathy was of ischemic origin. However the absence of pain was surprising.
