title: [Paralysis of the serratus anterior muscle. A misleading trap in pulmonary radiology].
abstract: Paralysis of the serratus anterior muscle is an infrequent event, usually caused by an injury, and has not previously been reported in the radiologic literature. Diagnosis rests on clinical findings that include limitation of forward flexion and, to a lesser degree, abduction. The chest film may show a misleading parietal density projecting over the upper lobe. Medical treatment is usually adequate and prognosis is good.
