ABSTRACT
Complete ossification of the superior transverse scapular ligament is generally considered to be rare and has not been previously described in a Nigerian. In the diagnosis of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome, variations in the anatomy of the superior transverse scapular ligament must be considered as possible etiologic factors, as illustrated by this case report.
RESUMEN

En el diagnóstico del síndrome de compresión del nervio supraescapular, variaciones anatómicas del ligamento transverso escapular superior pueden ser consideradas un posible factor etiológico, como es el caso descrito.
