Abstract

Kompresyon nöropatileri
olarak da bilinen tuzak nöropatiler, travma, inflamasyon veya ödem gibi herhangi
bir sebebe bağlı olarak, periferik sinirin hedef dokuya seyri esnasında baskıya
uğramasıdır. Hastanemize başvuran 43 yaşındaki bir kadın hastanın
multidedektörlü bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntülerinin incelenmesi esnasında
ligamentum transversum scapulae superius’un kemikleştiği gözlendi. Anatomik
varyasyonların klinik perspektifte tartışıldığı bu vaka takdimi, varyasyonların
radyo-anatomik görüntülerinin omuz bölgesindeki tuzak nöropatilerin
aydınlatılmasındaki önemini ortaya koymaktadır.

Ossification of Superior Transvers Scapular Ligament: A Case Report

Abstract

Entrapment neuropathies, also known as nerve compression syndrome or
compression neuropathy, may be defined as the lesions of the peripheral nerves
under exposure of any kind of physical stress, including any kind of traumas
and inflammatory or edematous processes, on the route of the nerve to the
target tissue. While performing a radiologic examination of multi-detector
computerized tomography images of vascular structures in the right shoulder
region of a 43 years old female Turkish patient who admitted to our hospital,
we observed a complete ossification of the superior transverse scapular
ligament. This case report, which is discussed in the clinical perspectives of
anatomic variations, puts forth that radio-anatomic images about variations,
like the one used in this report, are of importance while illuminating the
etiopathologic background of entrapment neuropathies of the shoulder region.
