Abstract:
The primary cause of scapular winging, also known as scapula alata, is typically a malfunction of the serratus anterior, trapezius, and rhomboids, the three major scapular stabilizers. Scapular winging is often caused by injuries to the long thoracic nerve, which weakens the serratus anterior muscle. The long thoracic nerve is particularly vulnerable to both acute and nontraumatic damage due to its longer and superficial course. There are very few documented cases of isolated scapula winging. Here, we present the case of a 15-year-old Asian female who initially presented with right hypochondrium pain, and during a general physical examination, an incidental finding of a left-winged scapula was noted.
摘要:
肩胛骨翅膀的主要原因,也被称为肩胛骨,通常是前锯肌的故障,斜方肌,和菱形,三个主要的肩胛骨稳定器。肩胛骨翼通常是由胸长神经损伤引起的,削弱了前锯齿肌。由于长胸神经的病程较长,因此特别容易受到急性和非创伤性损伤。很少有记录的孤立的肩胛骨翼。这里,我们介绍了一名15岁的亚裔女性,她最初表现为右侧软骨疼痛,在一般体检中,注意到一个偶然发现的左翼肩胛骨。
