%X Entrapment neuropathies, also known as nerve compression syndrome or compression neuropathy, may be defined as the lesions of the peripheral nerves under exposure of any kind of physical stress, including any kind of traumas and inflammatory or edematous processes, on the route of the nerve to the target tissue. While performing a radiologic examination of multi-detector computerized tomography images of vascular structures in the right shoulder region of a 43 years old female Turkish patient who admitted to our hospital, we observed a complete ossification of the superior transverse scapular ligament. This case report, which is discussed in the clinical perspectives of anatomic variations, puts forth that radio-anatomic images about variations, like the one used in this report, are of importance while illuminating the etiopathologic background of entrapment neuropathies of the shoulder region
