Burner or stinger syndrome is a uncommon sports activities damage brought on by direct or oblique trauma throughout high-speed or contact sports activities primarily in younger athletes. It impacts peripheral nerves, plexus trunks or spinal nerve roots, inflicting paralysis, paresthesia and ache. We report the case of a 57-year-old male athlete affected by burner syndrome associated to a lumbar nerve root. He offered with extended ache and partial paralysis of the precise leg after a skewed touchdown throughout the lengthy leap. He was initially misdiagnosed because the first magnet resonance imaging was regular whereas electromyography confirmed denervation. The insurance coverage firm refused to pay harm claims. Partial restoration was achieved by ache medicine and physiotherapy. Burner syndrome is an damage of bodily energetic people of any age and should seem within the cervical and lumbar space. MRI could also be regular because of the lack of full nerve transection, however electromyography usually exhibits pathologic outcomes.
