Suprascapular Nerve Partial Section by the Transverse Scapular Ligament: One Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of suprascapular nerve idiopathic total palsy lasting for 2 years, with intraoperative finding of suprascapular nerve partial section by the superior transverse scapular ligament. This highlights the importance of early surgical management with an open procedure for suprascapular neuropathy of unknown etiology.

متن کاملMorphological and Radiological Study of Ossified Superior Transverse Scapular Ligament as Potential Risk Factor of Suprascapular Nerve Entrapment
The suprascapular notch is covered superiorly by the superior transverse scapular ligament. This region is the most common place of suprascapular nerve entrapment formation. The study was performed on 812 specimens: 86 dry scapulae, 104 formalin-fixed cadaveric shoulders, and 622 computer topography scans of scapulae. In the cases with completely ossified superior transverse scapular ligament, ...
متن کاملMorphometric study of suprascapular notch in Indian dry scapulae with specific reference to the incidence of completely ossified superior transverse scapular ligament.
BACKGROUND The suprascapular notch, a depression on the lateral part of the superior border of the scapula, medial to the coracoid process, is bridged by the superior transverse scapular ligament, which is sometimes ossified and the foramen which is thus completed, transmits the suprascapular nerve to the supraspinatus fossa. Variations in the morphology of suprascapular notch have been identif...
