Abstract
Axillary web syndrome (AWS), which frequently develops following axillary lymph node dissection, can also be caused by several other conditions, such as infection or strenuous exercise. In recent years, idiopathic cases have also been reported. We report the case of a 27-year-old female who presented with pain, tension and a taut rope-like structure in the left armpit area. She also had a limited shoulder range of motion in abduction and forward flexion. We diagnosed the patient with idiopathic AWS based on a detailed clinical history and manifestations. The patient completely recovered without any sequelae by therapeutic interventions, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy. Through a systematic review of the literature, four additional cases of idiopathic AWS were identified. This study aimed to investigate the similarities and differences between idiopathic and typical AWS cases.
