Özet

Scapular winging is lateralization of the medial border of scapula from the posterior chest wall. The main causes of winging are serratus anterior, rhomboid and trapezius muscle paralyses. The most dramatic one is serratus anterior paralysis due to long toracic nerve injury. Herein, we present two cases with long thoracic nerve injury, discuss the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of scapular winging.
