Suprascapular neuropathy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Suprascapular neuropathy is an underrecognized cause of shoulder girdle weakness and pain. The clinical and electrophysiologic techniques of diagnosis are easily learned. Both nonoperative and operative treatments are successful when properly chosen. Advances in correlation of nerve conduction study results with treatment choice and outcomes provide a motor-based prognostic model for suprascapular neuropathy. In this update, new data regarding diagnostic modalities, etiologies, and treatments of suprascapular neuropathy are summarized.

Arthroscopic decompression of an entrapped suprascapular nerve due to an ossified superior transverse scapular ligament: a case report
INTRODUCTION Suprascapular neuropathy is an uncommon cause of shoulder pain and weakness and therefore is frequently misdiagnosed. As a consequence, misdiagnosis can include inappropriate conservative treatment or unsuccessful surgical procedure. CASE PRESENTATION A rare case is reported of a 54-year-old woman who suffered from suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. The patient was subjecte...
متن کاملSuprascapular Nerve Entrapment: Technique for Arthroscopic Release
Suprascapular neuropathy can be caused by a variety of anatomic and pathologic entities as the nerve courses from the brachial plexus through the suprascapular and spinoglenoid notches to innervate the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles. We describe techniques for arthroscopically accessing the nerve at both the suprascapular and spinoglenoid notches and decompressing structural lesions th...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of latent and manifest suprascapular neuropathy in high-level male volleyball players. Thirty subjects were examined clinically and electrophysiologically. Suprascapular neuropathy, most probably at the level of the suprascapular notch, was demonstrated in 12 subjects, being latent in eight. Taking into account our clinical findings in...
متن کاملSuprascapular Nerve Pathology: A Review of the Literature
BACKGROUND Suprascapular nerve pathology is a rare diagnosis that is increasingly gaining popularity among the conditions that cause shoulder pain and dysfunction. The suprascapular nerve passes through several osseoligamentous structures and can be compressed in several locations. METHODS A thorough literature search was performed using online available databases in order to carefully define...
متن کاملComplete Absence of Suprascapular Notch: A Case Report
Suprascapular Nerve Entrapment (SSNE) is an acquired neuropathy secondary to compression of suprascapular nerve in the Suprascapular Notch (SSN). Complete ossification of superior transverse scapular ligament may be a cause for suprascapular nerve entrapment. The absence of suprascapular notch is not very common condition, though its prevalence was quoted by Indian authors to be varying from 1....
