The seimological aspects of 15 observations of amyotrophic neuralgia of the shoulder are described. This group includes 12 men and 3 women. The signs were bilateral in 4 patients. A recurrence was observed in 3 cases, suggesting a constitutional predisposition. One patient also demonstrated neuropathic signs in the lower limbs. Special emphasis is put on the mode of onset and the prodromal symptoms. A functional overloading of the scapulo-humeral articulation is evident in 5 cases. In 12 patients a complete functional recovery was observed in less than one year.
