Abstract: (734 Views)
Background and Objectives: Calcium deposition and ossification may be seen in tissues such as arteries, lymph nodes, glands, and ligaments which in some cases, it causes inflammation and pressure on adjacent tissues, including nerves. According to the passing of the nerve under the superior transverse scapular ligament, the ossification of this ligament can lead to pressure on the relevant nerve, resulting in pain in the scapular region, which in severe cases, arthroscopic surgery and removal of the pressure on the nerve is necessary for the patient. The aim of this study was to describe a case of ossification of the superior transverse scapular ligament.
Case report: At the time of evaluation of the scapulae in the Anatomy Museum, an unusual case involving ossification of the superior transverse ligament of the right scapula was observed. This ossification led to the formation of an oval hole on the superior border with a large diameter of 9 mm and a small diameter of 6 mm. The circumference of this complete ossified ligament was 14 mm and its thickness in the middle part was 4 mm.
Conclusion: This study described a case of ossification of the superior transverse scapular ligament. In order to determine the frequency of this case in the Iranian population and to determine the various aspects of its clinical significance, more comprehensive studies are needed. This report is also significant as the ossification of this ligament in the Iranian population has not been documented.
Key words: Superior transverse ligament, Calcification, Suprascapular nerve and vessels, Ossification, Nerve entrapment syndrome
Funding: This study did not have any funds.
Conflict of interest: None declared.
Ethical approval: The Ethics Committee of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences approved the study (IR.RUMS.REC.1400.090).
