목적 : 결절종에의해발생한견갑상 신경포착증후군환자에서수술적치료후결과를분석하고치료방법의개선을찾고자하였다. 대상및방법 : 1996년3월부터2001년5월까지진찰소견, 근전도, 자기공명영상소견에서결절종에의한견갑상신경포착증후군으로진단받은 13명의환자를대상으로하였다. 수술은결절종의개방적절제및감압술과관절경하검사를시행하였으며수술후의평가는근력의주관적인회복정도와American shoulder elbow surgeon (ASES)의평가법을이용하여분석하였다. 결과 : 수술후9예(69$\%$)에서간헐적인동통, 근력의불완전회복, 근위축의잔류로인한증상의지속소견이관찰되었으며4예(31$\%$)에서증상의완전회복소견을보였다. 수술후ASES 점수는평균86.4(70$\~$99.8)점이었으며수술전에비해수술후84$\%$의환자에서동통의호전과53$\%$의환자에서근력의호전을보였으나근위축은남아있었다. 결론 : 결절종에의한견갑상신경포착증후군은결절종의절제만으로는증상의완전한해소를기대하기어려우며, 수술시결절종에의한주병변이외에포착이다발성으로발생할가능성이있으므로결절종의제거및관절내병변의치료와함께견갑상절흔과견갑하절흔부위에서의신경에대한감압술을함께고려하는것이좋을것으로생각한다.

Understanding the anatomy of suprascapular area helps the clinicians and surgeons in management of any disability at the shoulder region. This work aimed to clear the different morphological and morphometrical types of suprascapular notch (SSN). Unknown 120 dry human scapulae of both sides and 60 formalin-embalmed cadaveric upper limbs (40 males and 20 females) were used in the present study. Three main morphological forms of SSN were reported: J, U, and V-shaped. J-shaped notch showed the highest incidence followed by U-shaped then V-shaped one. Morphometrically, type (III) notch was the most prevalent in both dry bones and cadavers, while the incidence of type (II) was the lowest form. Also, the measurements of superior transverse diameter, middle transverse diameter and vertical dimension of the different types of the notch showed no side or sex significant difference. The suprascapular foramen with ossified superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL) was seen in 5.8% of dry bones and 10% of cadaveric specimens. Fan and band-shaped ossified transverse scapular ligaments were reported. Absence of SSN was seen in 10.8% of dry bones, 7.5% of male and 10% of female specimens with left side predominance. V-shaped, absence, and ossified STSL were considered as predisposing factors of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. Knowledge of the morphology and morphometric parameters of SSN is of great clinical significance for anatomists, radiologists, physiotherapists, orthopedics and neurosurgeons to perform good diagnosis and best planning for surgical or arthroscopic interventions within the shoulder region.

견관절 주위 낭종 중 상견갑 신경 포착 증후군을 일으킬 수 있는 상부 관절순 주위 낭종과 회전근 개 파열과 동반된 견봉 쇄골 관절 낭종이 여러 저자들에 의해 보고된 바 있다. 이 두 가지 낭종에 비해 상대적으로 드물고 덜 알려진 형태로 회전근 개 근육 내 낭종이 있으며, 저자들이 한 예를 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다.
