Defect in Scapula: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Defect in scapula is a rare presentation. Congenital malformations of the scapula, ranging from complete absence, to abnormal shape and position (Sprengel anomaly) are encountered. In this study we report one such case with a defect in scapular body. The borders or margins were regular. A 26 yrs old male presented to us with history of trauma to left shoulder 1 yr back. On X-ray defect in the body of scapula was found. The patient was further investigated on the basis of which we had differentials in our mind such as congenital defect, pseudolesion, tumor, traumatic defect. These were further ruled out on the basis of aetiopathogenesis, investigations, clinical and radiographic assessment. This is a rare finding. On the basis of investigations, clinical picture and radiological assessment, we concluded that the defect found may be traumatic. At the same time congenital defect or normal variation of scapula should also be considered. Keywords: Scapula, Defect, Traumatic, Congenital, Normal variation, Rare.
