Abstract
|
|
|
|
Winged scapula is caused by the lesions of long thoracic nerve, spinal accessory nerve or dorsal scapular nerve. Spinal accessory nerve is commonly damaged by trauma of posterior neck or biopsy of lymph node in this area. But, winged scapula can also be rarely caused by the tumors arising from the foramen magnum or jugular foramen. These tumors usually present other neurologic symptoms of cranial nerve IX, X, XII, coincidently. This case only had winged scapula without other symptom.
