ÖZET
Dorsal skapular sinir (DSS) hasarına sekonder skapular kanatlanma
çok nadirdir. Genellikle kadınlarda 3 ve 4. dekatlarda görülür ve
bilgimize göre literatürde çocukluk çağında izole DSS nöropatisi vakası
yoktur. Burada, izole DSS nöropatisine bağlı olarak kanat skapula
gelişen 2 olguyu sunuyoruz. Olguların 2’si de ergenlik çağında olan ve
vücut geliştirme sporları ile ilgilenen erkek hastalardır. Çocuklarda
omuz ve sırt ağrısı nedenlerinden biri olan kanat skapulanın, izole DSS
nöropatisine bağlı gelişebileceği ve etiyolojisinde kronik minör travmaların
etkili olabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Olgu sunumu; dorsal skapular sinir; kanat skapula; omuz ağrısı
ABSTRACT
Scapular winging secondary to dorsal scapular nerve
(DSN) damage is very rare. It is usually seen in women and in the 3rd
and 4th decades of life. To our knowledge, no case of isolated DSN
neuropathy in childhood has been reported in the literature. Here, we report
2 cases of wing scapula due to isolated DSS neuropathy. Both cases
were adolescent males who were interested in bodybuilding sports. It
is crucial to consider that winged scapula, which can contribute to
shoulder and back pain in children, may develop due to isolated DSN
neuropathy, with chronic minor traumas potentially playing a role in
its etiology.
