장사방형 공간에서 발생한 비외상성 양측 액와신경 손상 = Nontraumatic Bilateral Axillary Nerve Injuries in Quadrilateral Space

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The quadrilateral space syndrome is very rare clinical syndrome which is caused by compression of axillary nerve and posterior circumflex artery in quadrilateral space. Electromyography (EMG) is key study to confirm diagnosis with angiography and magnetic resonance image (MRI) as supplementary diagnostic tool. Though quadrilateral space syndrome is very rare, it should be considered with a patient with shoulder pain. We present a 36 years old man with pain and weakness of both shoulder after weight lifting which was diagnosed as quadrilateral space syndrome by EMG and MRI. The purpose of this report is to attract attention to an unusual etiology of shoulder pain.
