Compression of the suprascapular nerve by a ganglion at the suprascapular notch.
The suprascapular nerve was compressed by a ganglion in the suprascapular notch in a 28-year-old carpenter. Electromyogram studies, especially mean latency time, were essential for accurate diagnosis. Excision of the ganglion relieved the pain and led to recovery of the motor function of the shoulder.
