[Anesthesia practice by nurse anesthetists in French speaking Sub-Saharan Africa].
To evaluate the practice of anaesthesia in French-speaking subsaharian countries. ⋯ In this study, 50% of nurse anaesthetists were working alone. However, this rate is probably under-estimated, as the questionnaire did not consider anaesthesia practice in the country side.

We report a case of persisting suprascapular nerve palsy after surgery under general anaesthesia of short duration in a conventional position. Surgical exploration, eight months later, showed a suprascapular notch narrowed by a hypertrophied and calcified superior transverse ligament. Such a lesion and the practice of volley-ball by the patient are in favour of a pre-existing infraclinical neuropathy.
