 Suprascapular nerve entrapment is rarely treated by neurosurgeons in Japan. However, it is often observed in post-stroke patients and in cases of accessory nerve injury as a complication of posterior fossa craniotomy. We report a case of suprascapular nerve entrapment due to superior transverse scapular ligament, which was successfully diagnosed and surgically treated. The patient was a 66-year-old female who used be a janitor. She complained of dysesthesia around the shoulder. The diagnosis was made based on the characteristic neurological findings including pain around the scapula, supraspinatus muscle weakness, and favorable but temporary response to suprascapular nerve block. After undergoing conservative management for one and a half year, she decided to undergo the nerve decompression surgery. The surgical treatment was performed under microscope with neuromonitoring. Following surgery, the painful area was dramatically reduced. We believe that suprascapular nerve disorders can be treated with careful neurological evaluation by neurosurgeons.
