Small glenohumeral joint effusion and the axillary pouch portion of the glenohumeral joint is thickened with surrounding edema. Further edema in the region of the bicipital sling/rotator cuff interval. No rotator cuff tear. Mild distension of the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa. Findings are suggestive of adhesive capsulitis.
Case Discussion
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is most often a clinical diagnosis. Patients will often lose their ability to externally rotate their shoulder and this can make imaging more challenging. Hydrodilation can be a treatment option.
