Sprengel deformity (SD), or congenital high scapula, is a rare congenital skeletal disorder with elevation of the scapula due to failure to descend during fetal development. It is the most common congenital anomaly of the scapula. There is often restriction of scapular movement in SD due to abnormal connection with the spine, dysplasia, and/or disorientation of the shoulder blade. 6, record 1, English, - congenital%20high%20scapula

La SCS se caractérise, à des degrés variables, par une scapula dysmorphique en position haute. Une structure surnuméraire ossifiée (os omo-vertébral) ou pas lui est souvent associée et siège entre le bord médial de la scapula et le rachis cervical. Le diagnostic est évoqué cliniquement et précocement en raison d'un préjudice esthétique (asymétrie des épaules) et/ou fonctionnel (limitation de l'abduction). 2, record 1, French, - sur%C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20cong%C3%A9nitale%20de%20la%20scapula
