Intermediate T2 signal cleft extends from the undersurface of the superior glenoid labrum and into the long head of biceps insertion, suggestive of a SLAP tear.
Acromioclavicular arthropathy and distal supraspinatus tendinopathy.
Mild distension with fluid of the SASD bursa.
Small amount of fluid in the superior subscapularis recess.
Case Discussion
A superior labral anterior to posterior tear (SLAP), can be distinguished from a sub-labral sulcus as the fluid cleft will be perpendicular to the normal contour of the attachment, sometimes extending into the LHB tendon itself.
The finding of a SLAP tear was confirmed surgically.
