Question 134

A 50-year-old man had severe pain in his right neck and shoulder for 1 week, which resulted in an inability to abduct his right shoulder. Examination revealed winging of the scapula and weakness of the supraspinatus. There was no evidence of infection or glenohumeral pathology on the MR image. However, the supraspinatus had some fatty infiltration change. Electromyography (EMG) at 3 weeks showed acute denervation with positive sharp waves and fibrillation potentials (both peripheral nerve and nerve root distribution). By 6 weeks, he was improving. A repeat EMG performed 3 months after onset shows early reinnervation with polyphasic motor unit potentials. What is the most likely diagnosis?
