Anatomical variations of the transverse cervical and suprascapular arteries are common. We report an adult male cadaver found to harbour an unusual variation of the right course of these two arteries. ⋯ Simultaneously, the ipsilateral suprascapular artery arose from the third segment of the subclavian artery and travelled posteriorly with the suprascapular nerve deep to the suprascapular ligament. We believe this is the first report of such a simultaneous occurrence.
