Sprengel's Deformity is a rare, congenital condition characterized by the elevation of the scapula in the body. It is the most common congenital deformity of the shoulder girdle.
Etiology[edit]
The exact cause of Sprengel's Deformity is unknown. However, it is believed to occur due to a disruption in the normal embryological development of the shoulder girdle. This disruption is thought to occur between the fourth and seventh weeks of gestation.
Clinical Presentation[edit]
Patients with Sprengel's Deformity typically present with a visible deformity of the shoulder. This may include an elevated shoulder, a decreased range of motion, and a cosmetic deformity due to the prominence of the scapula. In some cases, patients may also present with neck stiffness and pain.
Diagnosis[edit]
The diagnosis of Sprengel's Deformity is typically made based on the clinical presentation and confirmed with imaging studies. These may include X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans.
Treatment[edit]
The treatment of Sprengel's Deformity is primarily surgical. The goal of surgery is to improve the cosmetic appearance of the shoulder and to increase the range of motion. Physical therapy may also be beneficial in improving function and mobility.
Prognosis[edit]
The prognosis for patients with Sprengel's Deformity is generally good. With appropriate treatment, most patients can achieve a good cosmetic result and improved function. See also:
