Beyond 1 year of age, autologous rib cartilage grafts [13] or prosthetic materials like Marlex mesh, Teflon mesh, silicon elastomer, and acrylic plate are required.

Bifid sternum is a rare fusion anomaly of the chest wall that accounts for 0.15% of all chest deformities and may be associated with cardiac or vascular anomalies. It is usually diagnosed and surgically corrected at birth or within the first month of life. Being a diagnosis made during the neonatal period, computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging are not often performed; not so many cases in literature have been studied with II level diagnostic imaging, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance.We describe a case of bifid sternum, rarely diagnosed in adults, discovered in a 21-year-old woman who came to our Diagnostic Imaging Department to perform a chest magnetic resonance after a chest X-ray.
