It occurs due to failure of the scapula to descend during intrauterine development and its cause is still unknown. Although the deformity appears randomly most of the time, familial cases have been reported. Sprengel shoulder is often associated with Klippel\u2013Feil syndrome and other congenital skeletal deformities. Anteroposterior X-ray imaging can accurately diagnose Sprengel deformity. However, computed tomography and magnetic resonance scans with three-dimensional reconstruction are nowadays used in everyday practice in order to diagnose concomitant abnormalities, study in detail the anatomy of the affected shoulder(s), and plan appropriate management. We present here our imaging experience from three pediatric cases with Sprengel shoulder and take the opportunity to discuss this rare entity, which is, nevertheless, the commonest congenital defect of the scapula.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/2156-7514.143407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,27]],"date-time":"2014-10-27T09:45:26Z","timestamp":1414403126000},"page":"55","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The Rare Sprengel Deformity: Our Experience with Three Cases"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Antonia","family":"Bindoudi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Papageorgiou General Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eleni P","family":"Kariki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Papageorgiou General Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Vasiliadis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Papageorgiou General Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ioannis","family":"Tsitouridis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Papageorgiou General Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.4103\/2156-7514.143407\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"374","DOI":"10.1097\/PHM.0b013e3182240c94","article-title":"Bilateral congenital undescended scapula (sprengel deformity)","volume":"91","author":"Ozsahin","year":"2012","journal-title":"Am J Phys Med Rehabil"},{"key":"10.4103\/2156-7514.143407\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1379","DOI":"10.7205\/MILMED-D-13-00192","article-title":"Sprengel deformity presenting as a post-traumatic injury in an afgan boy: A case report","volume":"178","author":"Pellegrin","year":"2013","journal-title":"Mil Med"},{"key":"10.4103\/2156-7514.143407\/ref-3","first-page":"1","article-title":"Developmental anatomy of the shoulder and anatomy of the glenohumeral joint","volume-title":"The Shoulder","author":"O\u2019Brien","year":"2009","edition":"4th ed"},{"key":"10.4103\/2156-7514.143407\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.5435\/JAAOS-20-03-177","article-title":"Sprengel deformity: Pathogenesis and management","volume":"20","author":"Harvey","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Am Acad Orthop Surt"},{"key":"10.4103\/2156-7514.143407\/ref-5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"309","DOI":"10.1007\/s11832-010-0265-7","article-title":"Long-term results of modified green method in sprengel's deformity","volume":"4","author":"Gonen","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Child Orthop"},{"key":"10.4103\/2156-7514.143407\/ref-6","first-page":"545","article-title":"Die angeborene verschiebung des schulterblattes nach oben","volume":"42","author":"Sprengel","year":"1891","journal-title":"Archiv Fur Klinische Chirurgie"},{"key":"10.4103\/2156-7514.143407\/ref-7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"145","DOI":"10.1177\/095952878306600111","article-title":"A second case of malformation of the left shoulder-girdle;
