Kuadrilateral boşluk sendromu: Olgu sunumu

Kuadrilateral boşluk sendromu, aksiller sinirde kuadrilateral boşluk içinde izole nöropati gelişmesidir; çok az görülen bir durumdur. Bu yazıda, sağ omzunda yeri iyi belirlenemeyen ağrı, omuz posteriorunda nokta hassasiyeti bulunması ve manyetik rezonans incelemesinde kuadrilateral boşluk içinde fibröz bant görülmesi üzerine kuadrilateral boşluk sendromu tanısı konan 27 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuldu. Fibröz bandın eksizyonundan sonra aksiller sinirin serbest hale geldiği: gözlendi. Hastanın şikayetlerinin ameliyattan sonra geçtiği görüldü.

Quadrilateral space syndrome: a case report

Quadrilateral space syndrome is a rare entity caused by isolated compression of the axillary nerve in the quadrilateral space. A twenty-seven-year-old male patient presented with a poorly localized shoulder pain and point tenderness on the posterior aspect of the shoulder. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a fibrous band causing quadrilateral space syndrome. Surgical excision of the fibrous band was performed and the axillary nerve was released. The patient became symptom-free after surgical decompression.
