    AbstractPalsy of the suprascapular nerve may be easily overlooked in the differential diagnosis of the painful shoulder. Although the diagnosis is well documented in the literature, opinion is still divided regarding its etiology and treatment. This case report offers an example of successful nonoperative management of a suprascapular nerve palsy which followed an acute episode of muscular stress in a young male athlete.
