Abstract: A 79-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for shoulder pain. A physical examination revealed a tender right shoulder with limitation of active, and preservation of passive, motion. She had undergone a cerebral angiography with coil embolization two months prior to admission. After the procedure, she was presented with pain in the right upper arm and shoulder. Due to persistent shoulder pain, an MRI of the shoulder was performed, and osteonecrosis of the humeral head was detected. We present a case of osteonecrosis of the humeral head after cerebral angiography.
