Abstract
Snapping scapula is a rare and poorly known cause of shoulder pain and is r elated to mechanical impingement between the scapula and the rib cage. We p resent a case in which CT scan was valuable, as a complement to clinical ev aluation, for demonstrating the bony component of this entity. 3D reconstru ctions greatly facilitated diagnosis.
