- Abstract
Objective: Suprascapular notch, is located on the inner side of the root of coracoid process in margo superior of scapula. This notch is closed from the top by superior transverse scapular ligament and turned into a hole. Under the this ligament suprascapular nerve, from above it suprascapular artery and vein are pass together. One of the reason of suprascapular entrapment neuropathy is suprascapular nerve is press when it pass from suprascapular notch. Since the anatomical features of suprascapular notch may be one of the preparatory factors for suprascapular entrapment neuropathy, it is important for understanding the etiology of the patients presenting to the clinic with shoulder and back pain and for surgical invertions to be performed. Methods: The ossification of the superior transverse scapular ligament was found 63 years old male patient in the archives of the department of radiology of Meram Medical Faculty of Necmettin Erbakan University. Results: Suprascapular notch is divided into 6 types in the literature. These types are type ': absence of suprascapular notch, type 2: wide V type, type 3: symmetrical U type, type 4: narrow V type, type 5: partial ossification, type 6: complete ossification. In our case, this type of type 6 is compatible with. The incidence of ossification of the superior transverse scapular ligament has been described in the litarature in the range of %',93-%'0. Conclusion: Looking at the current case report, we can say knowing ossification of the superior transverse scapular ligament will help clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of suprascapular nerve compression.
