PARALABRAL CYST SHOULDER LABRUM MRI
SHOULDER PARALABRAL CYST
WHAT ARE THE FINDINGS?
High signal cystic structure (Pink arrow) adjacent to the labrum.
DISCUSSION: WHAT'S THE Dx?
- The structure is a paralabral cyst (Pink arrow) lying adjacent to the posterior labrum.
- Paralabral cysts are usually seen adjacent to the labrum but can occasionally track away from the labrum.
- They may be simple or septated.
- The presence of a paralabral cyst is an indicator of an underlying labral tear ( whether you see it or not on MRI).
- So if you see a paralabral cyst follow that up by looking for a labral tear.
