Compression of the lower branch of the suprascapular nerve by a cyst: description of a case and review of the literature (original) (raw)

La Chirurgia degli Organi di Movimento

Abstract

Ganglion cysts responsible for compression syndrome of the lower branch of the suprascapular nerve are described, but they are rare. The authors describe a well-documented case that was treated in a traditional manner by exeresis conducted through posterior access. Pain was relieved immediately, while force in external rotation and electromyographic findings improved as early as two months after surgery. One year after surgery the patient does not complain of the recurrence of symptoms. The literature is analyzed and therapeutic options available are discussed.
