Abstract:	Identification of anatomical variations is essential to understand and perfectly manage the correlated clinical disorders. One of such disorders is shoulder pain that might result from entrapment of suprascapular nerve at the narrow supracondy-lar foramen. In this article, we report a rare case of absence of such foramen. With absence of the foramen, there is an increasing potentiality of nerve entrapment beneath the superior scapular transverse ligament. Therefore, investigation of such anatomical variation is suggested for proper management of cases of shoulder pain and dysfunction.
