Case ReportHistory
Exam
Findings
Findings
Fluid and synovitis within the glenohumeral joint and to a lesser extent the acromioclavicular joint. There is increased STIR/T2 signal and enhancement within the visualized portions of the proximal humerus as well as about the acromioclavicular joint. There is patchy associated loss of T1 signal. Similar, though less pronounced findings are identified in the tip of the coracoid as well as the glenoid. There is surrounding soft tissue edema.
Chondrolysis overlying the humeral head.
Focal T1/T2 hypointense structures immediately deep to the skin surface along the posterior aspect of the shoulder, series 9 images 25-29, possibly reflecting foreign bodies.
Impression
Surrounding marrow changes are nonspecific and may be reactive versus osteomyelitis.
Humeral head chondrolysis.
Possible foreign bodies in the soft tissues along the posterior shoulder.
