We report three cases of congenitally elevated scapula or Sprengel deformity diagnosed and followed in our hospital. This very rare congenital deformation of the shoulder girdle is characterized by more or less deformed and abnormally high shoulder blades. It is often found in young children, causing functional and aesthetic problems. When surgery is indicated, imaging examinations are recommended to diagnose structures from the scapula to the cervical spine, ossified (omo vertebrae) or non-ossified (fibrous and/or cartilaginous junctions). Ultrasound is readily available and, above all, easy to perform for young children. The CT scan is essential to look for an omovertebra and associated vertebral anomalies. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful for evaluating possible fibrous and/or cartilaginous components.
