Abstract
The ossification of the superior transverse scapular ligament either partial or complete has been identified as
one of the predisposing factors in suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome since long. In the present case
we found a bilateral completely ossified superior transverse scapular ligament, which is a rare finding. The
Knowledge of this anatomical variation where the ossified superior transverse ligament converts the
suprascapular notch into a foramen is important for clinicians in diagnosis and treatment of patients with
suprascapular nerve entrapment.
