An unusual case of suprascapular nerve entrapment

YUVARAJA .

Abstract


Abstract : Suprascapular nerve entrapment as a cause of shoulder pain in young adults is being increasingly reported of late. The rarity of this condition confounds the clinician in day to day practice and makes diagnosis difficult. Here we present a case of suprascapular nerve entrapment in a 27 year old male with diagnostic pointers and management  options.
