Abstract Spinoglenoid notch ganglion cyst (SNGC) is a rare shoulder cystic lesion. It is usually associated with superior labrum anteroposterior (SLAP) tears. SNGC can typically cause compression of the suprascapular nerve at the spinoglenoid notch. The aim of our paper is to draw attention to the relation of SNGC cyst with SLAP tears and to raise awareness so that accompanying low-grade labral tears are not overlooked. In addition, since these findings usually accompanied by acromioclavicular joint hypertrophy, the clinic table accidentally can be linked with impingement. The patient applied to our hospital with a complaint of weakness and mild pain in his arm. External rotation was difficult in the examination. Linear type I SLAP tear associated with degeneration was detected. The radiological findings of SLAP tear were subtle, and there were additional findings that could be interpreted as impingement. A lobulated and multiloculated cyst was observed in the supraglenoid notch.

We describe a case of suprascapular nerve entrapment caused by protrusion of an intraosseous ganglion of the glenoid into the spinoglenoid notch. A 47-year-old man with left shoulder pain developed an intraosseous cyst in the left glenoid, which came into contact with the suprascapular nerve. The area at which the patient experienced spontaneous shoulder pain was innervated by the suprascapular nerve, and 1% xylocaine injection into the spinoglenoid notch under ultrasonographic guidance relieved the pain. Therefore, we concluded that the protrusion of an intraosseous cyst of the glenoid into the spinoglenoid notch was a cause of the pain, and performed curettage. Consequently, the shoulder pain was resolved promptly without suprascapular nerve complications, and the cyst was histologically diagnosed as an intraosseous ganglion. This case demonstrated that the intraosseous ganglion of the glenoid was a benign lesion but could be a cause of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. Curettage is a useful treatment option for a ganglion inside bone and very close to the suprascapular nerve.
