Sprengel's deformity is a relatively rare and congenital skeletal abnormality where a person has one shoulder blade that sits higher on the back than the other.

[edit] Presentation

The scapula is small and rotated so that its inferior edge points toward the spine. There is a high correlation between Sprengel's deformity and the Klippel-Feil syndrome.

Sometimes a a bony connection is present between the elevated scapula and one of the cervical vertebrae, usually C5 or C6. This connection is known as the omovertebral bone.

[edit] Eponym

It is named for Otto Sprengel.^[1][2]
