“…The majority of cases in this study aimed to visualize the SSN, in keeping with the relatively high frequency of SSN imaging studies in the literature. [12][13][14][15] SSN lesions were successfully visualized in all but 1 case on both ultrasound and MRI, confirming the capability of current medical imaging techniques to image the SSN. A limitation of ultrasound should be highlighted here, as the osseous shadowing from the distal clavicle and scapula obscure segments of the SSN on ultrasound.…”

ObjectiveWe evaluated the performance of ultrasound in the detection of neuropathy of the suprascapular nerve (SSN), long thoracic nerve (LTN), spinal accessory nerve (SAN), and phrenic nerve and compared this performance with MRI.MethodsA retrospective review of 56 patients who had undergone ultrasound imaging of the SSN, LTN, SAN, and phrenic nerve was performed. Diagnoses made by ultrasound, MRI, EMG reports, and clinical and operative notes were recorded.ResultsUltrasound was successful in visualizing nerves in the neck in the overwhelming majority of cases. Sonographic findings were typically in agreement with MRI and clinical findings.ConclusionUltrasound is effective in the visualization and diagnostic evaluation of the SSN, LTN, SAN, and phrenic nerve.Classification of evidenceThis study provides Class IV evidence that ultrasound can effectively visualize and diagnose neuropathy of the SSN, LTN, SAN, and phrenic nerve in the neck.
