Purpose: Identify chronic shoulder MRI findings in patients with known shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA).
Materials And Methods: Two fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologists retrospectively reviewed the MRI of nine patients with clinically established SIRVA. MRI was performed at least 4 weeks after vaccination and included intravenous contrast-enhanced sequences. MRI was reviewed for the presence of erosions, tendonitis, capsulitis, synovitis, bone marrow oedema, joint effusion, bursitis, cartilage defects, rotator cuff lesions, and lymphadenopathy. The number and location of focal lesions were recorded.
Results: Erosions of the greater tuberosity were present in 8/9 (89%), tendonitis of the infraspinatus muscle tendon in 7/9 (78%), capsulitis, synovitis, and bone marrow oedema in 5/9 (56%) cases, respectively. Effusion was found in three, and subdeltoid bursitis, rotator cuff lesions as well as cartilage defects in one patient, respectively. None of our included subjects showed axillary lymphadenopathy.
Conclusion: In this case series, greater humeral tuberosity erosions, infraspinatus muscle tendonitis, capsulitis, synovitis, and bone marrow oedema were common MRI findings in chronic SIRVA.
