Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Sprengel deformity (SD) is a rare congenital deformity consisting of elevation of the scapula, leading to limited range of motion and a visible lump in severe cases. Klippel-Feil syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by the triad of cervical synostosis, low posterior hairline, and short neck. It is often associated with SD. CASE PRESENTATION: We present two cases of SD of a 7-year-old boy and a 10-year-old boy. They were both born with the abnormality and complained of limited range of motion in the affected shoulder. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Patients with less severe forms of SD can lead a normal life with supportive treatment, and it is not connected with cognitive impairment; however, there may be a limited range of motion and cosmetic concerns. In severe cases, treatment entails operative therapy with corrective placement of the scapula and resection of the omovertebral band. CONCLUSION: Patients with SD require supportive physiotherapy from a young age. Severe cases need operative treatment at a young age. The modified Woodward approach may be an excellent surgical option to correct the deformity.
