Abstract

Aim: Shoulder arthroscopy in the beach chair position for treatment of shoulder pathologies is a widely used procedure. In recent literature, complications because of the positioning under general anesthesia have been reported. The objective of this study is to report a case of greater auricular nerve neuropraxia after shoulder arthroscopy.

Özet

Amaç: Plaj sandalyesi pozisyonunda omuz patolojilerinin tedavisinde omuz artroskopisi yaygın olarak kullanılan bir işlemdir. Son literatürde genel anestezi altında pozisyon verilmesine bağlı komplikasyonlar bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, omuz artroskopisi sonrası gelişen büyük auriküler sinir nöropraksisi olgusunu bildirmektir.
