56 Year Old Patient with Axillary Nerve Dysfunction Post Dislocation

HIDE

0:01

This 56-year-old patient fell and had a shoulder

0:03

dislocation and, by the way, has axillary nerve dysfunction.

0:08

But I'd like to highlight and focus on these masses

0:11

in front of the shoulder in the axial projection.

0:16

They're very glom-like, or glenolabral

0:19

ovoid mass-like, or they look like masses.

0:22

So what are they?

0:24

Well, first of all, look in the bicipital groove.

0:27

It's empty.

0:28

The transverse ligament, predominantly made up

0:30

of the coracohumeral ligament is ruptured.

0:32

And what is this rounded oval mass?

0:36

It's the dislocated tendinotic

0:38

hypertrophied biceps long head.

0:41

We've got another mass.

0:42

Look at this gigantic mass right here.

0:46

It consists of inflammatory tissue and synovial hypertrophy.

0:50

Now, if this was a piece of labrum, triangulated

0:52

labrum inside it, that had torn off inferiorly and

0:58

migrated superiorly, we'd call it a glom lesion.

1:01

A glenolabral ovoid mass.

1:03

Without it, we call it a pseudoglom lesion, or

1:06

a tumor-factive area of synovial hypertrophy.

1:10

As we go down, we do see the inferior labrum

1:14

intact, but when we get to the axillary region,

1:17

the axillary portion of the labrum is injured.

1:19

So it isn't quite clear, clinically,

1:22

whether that's a piece of labrum or not.

1:24

If it's a labrum, then it's a glom lesion.

1:27

If it's not a labrum, it's a pseudoglom lesion.

1:30

And here's another fake glom lesion

1:32

from the dislocated biceps long head.

1:36

And that concludes our discussion of gloms and pseudogloms.

1:40

See our other vignette on the diagnostic glom lesion.
