Abstract
Spinoglenoid cysts can be the reason for suprascapular nerve entrapment syn drome resulting an isolated atrophy of the infraspinatus muscle. The syndro me usually presents painless and is frequently observed in professional vol leyball players. The incidence of these cysts in volleyballplayers is still unknown. Diagnosis is made by neurological examination using electromyogra phy and magnetic resonance imaging. Our case shows the potential of ultraso und as a possible imaging method of ganglion cysts that could be used as a screening method to prevent suprascapular neuropathy.
