Resumen
Los síndromes dolorosos del hombro son relativamente comunes en la práctica clínica. Habitualmente son causados por un número limitado de patologías. Dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales, el pinzamiento subacromial, las lesiones aisladas del manguito rotador, capsulitis adhesiva, tendinitis cálcica, patología degenerativa de las articulaciones glenohumeral y acromioclavicular, y la inestabilidad crónica del hombro, son causas comunes. Causas infrecuentes son la rotura del tendón del bíceps, neuralgias, patología infecciosa articular y tumores del hombro. Un absceso subpectoral sin sintomatología infecciosa clara es una causa extremadamente rara de hombro doloroso en el adulto. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 60 años, que inicia con un cuadro de hombro doloroso cuya causa se identifica como un absceso subpectoral por staphylococcus aureus que se maneja con drenaje quirúrgico y tratamiento antibiótico endovenoso con buenos resultados.
Abstract
Painful shoulder syndromes are commonly caused by a limited assortment of pathologies. Differential diagnosis include rotator cuff impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tears, adhesive capsulitis, calcific tendonitis, degenerative disease of the joint including acromio-clavicular and gleno-humeral joints and chronic instability. Less common causes are labral tears, biceps tendon rupture, soft tissue infection, neurologic disease, joint infection and shoulder tumors. A subpectoral abscess without infectious clinical features is a very rare cause of shoulder pain in adults. We present the case of a 52 years old male who develops a painful shoulder syndrome caused by a staphylococcus aureus subpectoral abscess, treated by surgical drainage and intravenous antibiotic therapy with good results.
