Abstract
Suprascapular nerve entrapment (SNE) syndrome is a commonly overlooked cause of shoulder weakness and pain. It frequently causes weakness over the posterior and lateral and posterior aspects of the shoulder, as well as pain of infraspinatus muscles. Therefore, we considered that the infraspinatus muscle cross-sectional area (IMCSA) might be a new morphological parameter to analyze SNE syndrome. We assumed that the IMCSA is an important morphologic parameter in SNE syndrome diagnosis. We acquired infraspinatus muscle data from 10 patients with SNE syndrome and from 10 healthy subjects who had undergone magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder and who revealed no evidence of SNE syndrome. We analyzed the infraspinatus muscle thickness (IMT) and IMCSA at the shoulder on the imaging of the shoulder using our image analysis program. The IMCSA was measured as the whole infraspinatus muscle cross-sectional area that was most atrophied in the sagittal S-MR images. The IMT was measured as the thickest level of infraspinatus muscle. The mean IMT was 29.17 ± 2.81 mm in the healthy subjects and 25.22 ± 3.19 mm in the SNE syndrome group. The mean IMCSA was 1321.95 ± 175.91 mm2 in the healthy group and 1048.38 ± 259.94 mm2 in the SNE syndrome group. SNE syndrome patients had significantly lower IMT (P < .001) and IMCSA (P < .001) than the healthy group. The ROC curve shows that the optimal cutoff point of the IMT was 26.74 mm, with 70.0% sensitivity, 70.0% specificity, and an AUC of 0.83 (95% CI, 0.65-1.00). The best cutoff value of the IMCSA was 1151.02 mm2, with 80.0% sensitivity, 80.0% specificity, and AUC of 0.87 (95% CI, 0.69-1.00). The IMT and IMCSA were both significantly associated with SNE syndrome. And the IMCSA was a highly sensitive diagnostic tool.
