摘要

Suprascapular neuropathy caused by spinoglenoid notch cysts (SGNCs) is a rare condition with unclear etiology, typically presenting with significant shoulder pain and weakness. This case report describes two patients who underwent arthroscopic decompression and cyst excision: one with a labral lesion and the other with an isolated cyst. The patient with labral involvement was treated via the labral repair approach, while the patient without labral pathology underwent a direct decompression of the cyst through the subacromial space. Both patients experienced progressive pain relief and functional recovery during follow-up. This study highlights the safety and effectiveness of arthroscopic management for SGNCs and recommends a tailored surgical approach depending on the presence or absence of labral lesions.
