"Pseudo-suprascapular notch": is it a sonographic trap in suprascapular nerve block?
The aim of the study was to describe the radiological anatomy of the pseudo-suprascapular notch-a structure localized at the floor of the supraspinatus fossa, just below the true suprascapular notch. In sonographic examination, it may imitate the suprascapular notch leading to misidentification of these structures. ⋯ The pseudo-suprascapular notch is a hollow for nutrient vessels that can be mistaken for the regular suprascapular notch in cases of difficult sonographic navigation.
