Özet
Omuz ağrısı ve kas zayıflığının pek sık rastlanmayan olmayan bir nedeni de Supraskapular sinir hasarıdır. Supraskapular sinirdeki lezyonlar, Supraspinatusda ya da Spinoglenoid Notchda ortaya çıkabilir. Burada yıkama işiyle uğraşan 26 yaşındaki hastanın sol omuzunda ağrı saptanmıştır. Klinik değerlendirme ve elektrodiagnostik çalışmalar; Spinoglenoid Notchda sol suprascapular sinirde hasar meydana geldiğini göstermiştir. Hastaya altı hafta boyunca dinlenme, denetimli fizyoterapi ve non-steroid anti-inflamatuar ilaçlar verilmiştir. Bunu izleyen süreçte hastanın fonksiyonel aktivitesinde gelişme ve ağrıda azalma gözlenmiştir.
