ACCESSORY INTRATHORACIC RIBS- A QUAINT ANATOMICAL VARIATION
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 13
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE Ribs are cordon like bony structures which form a custodial paddock for the major intrathoracic organs. The embryological emanation is from sclerotome portion of paraxial mesoderm. Ribs anomalies are reasonably common with approximately one percent of the general population exhibiting these. 1 Proverbial rib anomalies are cervical ribs, bifid ribs, rib dysplasia and intercostals fusion. Accessory intrathoracic rib is a very rarefied rib anomaly which is a congenital disorder. It is generally discovered accidentally, and it is asymptomatic in most of the cases. Its understanding can aid us to prevent miscomprehending them as other of thoracic disorders like consolidations, pleural based lesions, lung parenchymal lesions and other pathological bony lesions during diagnostic imaging techniques.
