Isolated Bifid Rib with Intracranial Hemorrhage in a Neonate: Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The manifestations of many congenital and acquired conditions can be seen in the ribs of neonates. Bifid ribs are usually asymptomatic, and are often discovered incidentally by chest X-ray. Signs of abnormality can appear in the ribs as variations in number, size, mineralization, and shape. These changes can be focal or generalized. The ribs can yield important diagnostic clues in the work-up of patients with congenital bone dysplasias, acquired metabolic diseases, iatrogenic conditions, trauma (especially child abuse), infection, and neoplasms. Routine evaluation of the ribs on every chest radiograph is important so that valuable diagnostic data will not be overlooked. The diagnostic information obtained from evaluation of the ribs can help tailor the radiologic and laboratory studies that may be necessary to complete a patient’s diagnostic work-up. We are reporting a case of neonate with isolated bifid rib with intracranial hemorrhage. Keywords: Bifid ribs, Congenital, Intracranial hemorrhage.
