Suprascapular Nerve Entrapment (SSNE) is an acquired neuropathy secondary to compression of suprascapular nerve in the Suprascapular MILLET Notch (SSN).Complete ossification of superior transverse scapular ligament may be a cause for suprascapular nerve entrapment.The absence of suprascapular notch is not very common condition, though its prevalence was quoted by Indian authors to be varying from 1.36% to 32.
46% in different parts of the country.It is considered to be a predisposing factor for suprascapular nerve entrapment neuropathy.We noticed a male scapula without suprascapular notch in osteology section of Forensic Medicine department.In this case we observed costal and dorsal surfaces of the left scapula of a male without suprascapular Hardware Glue notch at its superior border.
The details of the said scapula are discussed in this report.
