An Unusual Cause of Shoulder Pain: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Axillary web syndrome (AWS) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of a cord-like structure in the axillary region. This case report describes a 24-year-old female patient who presented with complaint of left shoulder pain and restricted range of motion with no apparent cause. She was diagnosed clinically with idiopathic AWS (IAWS) and her condition completely resolved within two weeks with four physiotherapy sessions. Imaging studies such as ultrasound and MRI are rarely helpful to diagnose this condition radiologically.
