Suprascapular nerve lesions at the spinoglenoid notch: report of three cases and review of the literature. J A Liveson, M J Bronson, and M A Pollack Sául R Korey, Department of Neurology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY. Abstract Lesions of the suprascapular nerve can occur at the supraspinatus notch (SSN) or at the spinoglenoid notch (SGN). Electromyographic (EMG), evaluation of the infraspinatus, and especially the supraspinatus muscles distinguishes SGN from SSN lesions. Three cases of SGN lesions, which are more common than SSN lesions, are presented. Full text Full text is available as a scanned copy of the original print version.
