Core Tip	Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) can closely mimic cervical radiculopathy, leading to potential misdiagnosis. This report presents a 76-year-old male with sudden onset shoulder pain and arm weakness, initially suspected as cervical radiculopathy. Electrodiagnostic studies and magnetic resonance neurography revealed characteristic NA findings, including suprascapular nerve hourglass-like focal constriction. Accurate diagnosis enabled timely treatment with corticosteroids and physical therapy, resulting in significant recovery. This case underscores the importance of distinguishing NA from similar conditions for effective management.
