Abstract
BRACHIAL AMYOTROPHIC DIPLEGIA (BAD) is a syndrome of proximal weakness and wasting of the upper limbs. The syndrome typically presents with progressive upper limb weakness and wasting that is often symmetric and proximal, without significant functional involvement of lower limbs or bulbar muscles. Here we presented a patient with complaints of difficulty in lifting his right arm in his medical history. Brachial amyotrophic diplegia was diagnosed with neurological examination and EMG findings. It is presented because of its extreme rarity and rare clinical manifestations.
