[Idiopathic cervical plexopathy].
We describe a 26 year-old woman with cervical plexopathy with damage of left superficial or cutaneous branches, and left cervical sensory dorsal rami. Picture began acutely and vanished few days later. We ruled out known etiologies like traumatisms, tumours and surgical and anaesthetic complicated procedures, therefore the patient suffered an idiopathic cervical plexopathy. We hypothesize two possibilities for this clinical picture: an autoimmune reaction or a muscular entrapment.
