Sonographic diagnosis and treatment of ganglion cysts causing suprascapular nerve entrapment

One cause of shoulder pain is suprascapular nerve entrapment resulting from
compression by a ganglion cyst. We discuss the sonographic diagnosis and
treatment of these ganglion cysts and the use of sonographically guided
aspiration of these cysts. Previous authors have described CT or MR imaging
diagnosis and CT guided aspiration of ganglion cysts. Sonographically
guided aspiration appears to be an equally effective but less expensive
method to treat these cysts.
