Commonly, the suprascapular notch (SN), which is bridged by the superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL), carries the suprascapular nerve (SSN). Variations in the form of that notch, as well as partial or complete ossification of the STSL or other proper ligaments in the SN area, could potentially lead to SSN entrapment syndrome. The current study displays a very rare variant of coexistence of a shallow SN and a suprascapular foramen (SF) in a male scapula of unknown age. Similar cases of coexistence of an SN and an SF detected in the literature, as well as their clinical applications, are discussed.
