Write-up
Patient came to the emergency department on 02/02/2020 at 2:30 pm to be evaluated for possible stroke due to sudden acute numbness, weakness in right wrist and arm, but no pain.
Patient has no prior history of sudden acute numbness in arm and did not report any recent injury to his arm.
Neurologist evaluated patient for possible stroke and patient was unable to lift right wrist and hand.
Patient was able to lift both arms overhead, lift both legs, smile normal, open and close mouth and move tongue.
Both CT Scan and MRI were normal.
Neurologist and emergency medical specialist determined that patient did not have a stroke and diagnosed acute brachial plexus palsy possibly due to patient sleeping in an awkward position.
Emergency specialist said it was unlikely but could not rule out the possibility of an adverse reaction to the Moderna vaccine, which patient had received 10 days earlier (second dose, see details above.
