    Author: Távora DG, Gama RL, Bomfim RC, Nakayama M, Silva CE.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 2010 Oct; 65(10):789-94. PubMed ID: 20797464.
    Abstract:
    AIM: To evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in painful hemiplegic shoulder (PHS) in hemiplegic post-stroke patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with hemiplegia following their first cerebrovascular accident who were admitted to the Sarah Network of Hospitals for Rehabilitation were studied. Forty-five patients with pain in the hemiplegic shoulder and 23 post-stroke patients without shoulder pain were investigated. MRI and radiographic findings of the hemiplegic and contralateral asymptomatic shoulders were evaluated. RESULTS: Some MRI findings were more frequent in PHS group, including synovial capsule thickening, synovial capsule enhancement, and enhancement in the rotator cuff interval. CONCLUSIONS: Adhesive capsulitis was found to be a possible cause of PHS.
