Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Common rib anomalies include cervical ribs, bifid ribs, rib dysplasia, and intercostal fusion. The term “intrathoracic rib” signifies abnormal location of a rib within the thoracic cavity. An intrathoracic rib is a rare and benign congenital anomaly of the thoracic cage. A Female cadaver had seven supernumerary intrathoracic ribs on the left side. Its location in the posterior mediastinum with lack of attachment to adjacent ribs( intercostal fusion) were unusual features. Most commonly accessory ribs are associated with right side but in the present study it was observed on left side.
