Sonographic Differential Diagnosis

Ultrasound of the right and left shoulders show within normal limits

DX

The ultrasonographic examination of the right & left shoulder musculature and rotator cuff is within normal limits

Outcome

At this point no evidence of pathology in the right
shoulder rotator cuff was found. Consider other pathology such as myelopathy or
pathology within the brachial plexus or distal limb as possible underlying causes of the
clinical presentation.
