Abstract
Glenoid hypoplasia is a rare congenital anomaly characterised by abnormal development of the inferior portion of the glenoid fossa. It may be seen as a primary isolated lesion, or in association with other anomalies or as a part of syndromes. It is predominantly bilateral, but few unilateral cases are reported in the literature. We present w2wherewith a six year old female child, who had presented to us, due to the restricted shoulder abduction, as well as unsightly appearance of her right shoulder. The uniqueness of the case and the relevant literature has been appropriately highlighted.
