Aim of the study: Aim of present study is to describe the relation of suprascapular nerve & vessels with the suprascapular ligament (Transverse Scapular Ligament) and to present the abnormalities if any. Materials and Method: The study was conducted in Anatomy Department , B. J. Medical College, Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. 60 Upper limbs were dissected (30 cadavers bilaterally) and relation of the suprascapular nerve & vessels with the suprascapular ligament was observed. Result: Result of present study showed that out of 60 upper limbs, 57 had normal relation of suprascapular nerve and ves- sels with the suprascapular ligament ( the suprascapular nerve passing below the suprascapular ligament and suprascapular vessels passing above the suprascapular ligament) and 3 had abnormal relation showing that suprascapular nerve and vessels both were passing below the suprascapular ligament. Conclusion: Awareness about details and topographic anatomy of suprascapular nerve and vessels may serve as a useful guide for both radiologist and vascular surgeons. It may help to prevent diagnostic errors and to avoid complications during any surgery over the scapular region. This type of abnormal course of suprascapular vessels can lead to compression of vessel by the suprascapular ligament
