Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: In vertebrate anatomy, ribs are the long curved bones which form the rib cage, part of the axial skeleton. A typical human rib cage or thoracic cage consists of twelve pairs of ribs, the sternum and 12 thoracic vertebrae. Eve’s rib or cervical rib is relatively uncommon congenital abnormality, which arises from the seventh or sixth or very rarely fifth or fourth cervical vertebrae. They vary widely in size and shape, usually asymptomatic but it may give rise to neurovascular symptoms if it exerts pressure on the subclavian vessels or the brachial plexus called as thoracic outlet syndrome. Accordingly the aim of this study was to find the prevalence of Eve’s (cervical rib) rib in Shahjahanpur district population. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out on 220 adult patients at Varun Arjun medical college and Rohilkhand hospital -Banthra, UP. All patients referred to the radiology department for chest X-ray or other cervical films, for any reasons were evaluated for cervical rib and anyone who had this abnormally was entered in our study. Results: Out of 220 (110 males and 110 females) adult patients 3 adult female patients (1.36%) were found with bilateral cervical ribs. Conclusion: A comprehensive knowledge of the anatomical characteristics and congenital abnormalities of Eve’s rib is very important for surgeons, radiologists and forensic experts as it may increase the success of diagnostic evaluation and surgical approaches to the region.
