Identification of a unknown dead body during postmortem examination in a very important aspect. There are various methods of identifying a dead body but still the need for new identification data is always evident. This study has been taken up to see the relevance of variations, absence and anomalies of Suprascapular notch and foramen in identification of dead bodies. Anatomical variations and anomalous or ossified superior transverse scapular ligament are also considered to be risk factors for suprascapular neuropathy. This study was taken up with the aim to study the variations of Suprascapular notch and foramen and in turn check the relevance in identification of a person. A total of 200 dry scapulae were collected from the Departments of Anatomy and Forensic Medicine in Gandhi Medical College, Telangana State, India. Various shapes like J, U, V, ʊ, were noted along with absence in some cases. Commonest shapes seen are U, J and V in decreasing frequency respectively. In 6 cases the notch was absent, and there was a mere exaggeration of the superior angle giving a concave shape to the superior border in the current study. The suprascapular notch had converted into a foramen in 8 cases in the present study which amounting to 4% and thereby gaining a new significance though it was rare in all previous studies. A new shape was seen in some cases which has been assigned a name ‘inverted omega (ʊ)’ for further discussion in this study. The suprascapular notch at its junction with the superior border of scapula on either sides had spikes facing each other. As long as we have any old x-rays of the deceased we can always use the variations, anamolies and absence of Suprascapular notch and foramen as a very good tool in identification.
