Sprengel's shoulder and myositis ossificans (MO) are rarely seen concomitantly. This report is about a rare case in a 4 year-old girl who presented with right shoulder deformity and pain associated with right proximal arm swelling.A 4 year old girl with complaints of right shoulder pain for the past 7 months was referred to the orthopaedic clinic. The pain was of gradual onset, slowly increasing in severity over a period of 7 months, but with no preceding history of trauma. The girl was unable to raise her right upper limb fully. Otherwise, she had no other complaints. The patient was born via spontaneous vaginal delivery with an uneventful perinatal history. Her developmental milestones were up to date and she was totally well and normally active prior to the onset of pain. No siblings report similar symptoms.
