Snapping Scapula Syndrome is a rare disorder that consists mainly in an audible and/or palpable crepitus of thescapula with movements on the scapulo-thoracic plane. This crepitus is often associated with shoulder or cervicodorsalpain. Patients generally seek medical help for pain relief.This syndrome can have many causes, originating from the various anatomical structures involved in the scapulothoracicmovement (bone, muscle, bursa…). The diagnosis is clinical, although imaging studies can be helpful inthe identification of the underlying cause.Most patients with Snapping Scapula Syndrome are treated conservatively, with a rehabilitation program andanalgesic medication. Surgical approach can be beneficial in patients that do not respond to the nonoperativetreatment, although its execution is still not consensual.The authors present the case of a patient with Snapping Scapula Syndrome, its diagnostic and therapeuticapproach and a revision of the literature on this pathological entity.
