(1) Background: Parsonage–Turner Syndrome (PTS) is a rare peripheral nerve disease characterized by different degrees of nerve impairment. The recent development of nerve ultrasound has enabled the use of new data in the diagnosis of the disease. The aim of this study is to conduct a literature review about the ultrasound evaluation of PTS and present two clinical cases that are characteristic of the disease. (2) Methods: A review of the literature from the last 10 years on the topic containing data regarding nerve ultrasound was performed. In addition, two cases of patients on whom nerve ultrasound was performed at the first evaluation and at follow-up after the indicated treatment were described. (3) Results: The results of our review show that although it is defined as plexopathy, PTS is most often a form of multifocal neuropathy. We also report the most frequently used ultrasound classification and possible prognostic correlations and report our experience with the description of two paradigmatic clinical cases. (4) Conclusions: Further studies are needed to understand the true prognostic power of each degree of nerve impairment and the possible implications in clinical practice regarding treatment indications.
