In electrophsiologic examination, denervation of infrascapular branch of suprascapular nerve and atrophy of infraspinatus muscle was detected. The patient who is a volleyball player did not responded to medical theraphy, therefore surgical excision of the gaglion cycst at the posterior suprascapular region was performed. At the six months control admission, he was free of symptoms and muscle atrophy recovered. Suprascapular nerve entrapment neuropathy is rare kind of peripheral nevre entrapment neuropathies. Medical treatment and nerve blockage are adequate treatment modalities in cases without any mass lesions detected as an etiologic factor. Suprascapular entrapment neuropathy should be considered in differential diagnosis of cervical disc herniation, shoulder pathologies and other entrapment neuropathies with nocturnal pain which tend to radiate to scapula.
