Abstract
PURPOSE: There are many known treatment modalities for spinoglenoid ganglion cyst accompanied by suprascapular nerve palsy. However, to the author's knowledge, there is no report on the follow-up outcomes focused on remnant cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six (n=6) patients with spinoglenoid ganglion cyst accompanied by suprascapular nerve palsy, with a mean follow-up of 15 months (12-23months) following arthroscopic cyst decompression and superior labral repair, were enrolled. Residual cyst was investigated by ultrasonography and MRI. RESULTS: Immediate postoperative ultrasonography revealed complete remission of ganglion cyst in one patient and reduced ganglion cyst size in five patients. Three-month follow-up ultrasonography showed spontaneous complete remission of the residual cysts in all patients. No recurrence on MRI was seen at one-year follow-up. CONCLUSION: Residual spinoglenoid ganglion cyst remaining after arthroscopic decompression and superior labral repair tends to resolve spontaneously within 3 months of surgery.
