Özet
Winging of the scapula is the condition when the medial border moves away from the posterior chest wall. The two most common causes of winging are serratus anterior and trapezius muscle palsies, but a variety of other conditions like rhomboid weakness and cervical radiculopathies are also mentioned in the etiology. We present an accessory nerve paralysis and a long thoracic nerve paralysis both presenting with shoulder pain and winging of scapula. They cause severe pain, deformity and disability, and hence, the etiologies, importance of early diagnosis and treatment modalities of these conditions are discussed.
