ABSTRACT
The superior transverse scapular ligaments (STSL) bridges the suprascapular notch, located medial to the root of coracoid process of the scapula, and convert it into suprascapular foramen. The suprascapular nerve traverses through the suprascapular foramen of scapula. Sometime ossification of STSL results in compression of suprascapular nerve producing symptoms of suprascapular nerve neuropathy. An unusual variation of STSL ossification was encountered during routine dissection. The knowledge of this rare anatomical variation should be kept in mind by the clinicians and surgeons approaching painful syndrome of the shoulder, suprascapular nerve neuropathy and various surgical procedures of suprascapular nerve decompression.
