Abstract

Aim: This paper presents a very rare X-ray and ultrasound finding in acute exacerbation of shoulder periarthritis. Case Report: The underlying lesion is typically localized in the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle and the inflamed subacromial bursa with calcium rich effusion – milk of calcium. Such X-ray and ultrasound findings are rarely recorded in clinical practice and in the literature, as they are associated with the transient, mechanical phase in the evolution of periarthritis during which solid periarticular calcium deposits transitions into a liquid phase. Conclusion: Radiological diagnostics, primarily X-ray and ultrasound examinations, are optimal methods for diagnosing, differentiating, and clinical monitoring of the shoulder periarthritis.
