We report one case who presented with suprascapular nerve paralysis caused by a ganglion.<br>The patient is a 20 year-old male, and a high-level athlete. He complained of pain and weakness of his right shoulder, and presented with marked atrophy of infraspinatus muscle. MRI and ultrasonography showed a cystic legion in supraspinatus fossa. We treated with a puncture of the ganglion safely under ultrasonography.<br>Eight months after puncture he has no signs of relapse and has returned to full sporting function.<br>In this study we show that ultrasonography is a useful method for diagnosis and treatment of suprascapular nerve paralysis caused by a ganglion.
