A CASE REPORT OF BILATERAL LUMBAR RIBS
Journal Title: Stanley Medical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
A 32 year old female who had undergone double value replacement at JIPMER, Pondicherry, had come to Stanley Cardiothoracic OP for productive cough and fever. After examination a chest X-ray PA view and plain x-ray abdomen PA view was taken which showed bilateral super numerary ribs below T12 Thoracic vertebra. Lumbar ribs are a very rare anomaly characterized by extra rib arising from Lumbar vertebra. Lumbar ribs arising from vertebra may be mistaken for kissing osteophytes, transverse process anomalies or abdominal vessel anomalies. Adequate knowledge of this condition is therefore important for further research.
