“…In Sharma et al's study, no significant correlation was found between the prevalence of cervical ribs and sex or body side in a population from central India [25]. However, another survey conducted in an Indian population around Lucknow by Gupta et al revealed the prevalence of cervical ribs to be half of that of the previous mentioned study (0.6%) [31]. A higher frequency was observed in female (0.73%) than male subjects (0.49%).…”

A familiarity with the anatomy of some types of bone anomalies is necessary for clinicians involved in many medical areas. The aim of this paper is to review the newest literature concerning the morphology, embryology, clinical image, and therapeutic methods of the cervical ribs in the humans. The incidence of cervical ribs has been found to vary from 0.58% in Malaysian population to 6.2% in Turkish population. Cervical ribs have clinical implications that are generally divided into neurological or vascular. This study is of particular importance for clinicians, as early identification of cervical ribs may prevent life-threatening complications.

“…The female preponderance and bilaterality which has been found in most of the studies was also noted by us. [1][2][3][4][5] All cases were asymptomatic except one with cervical scoliosis and all the cases of cervical rib and transversomegaly were bilateral. These findings also collaborate with previous studies.…”

Background: A supernumary rib from seventh cervical vertebra is called cervical rib and is a common anomaly. Its true prevalence is not validated as most of these are asymptomatic thus do not get diagnosed. Its incidence has been reported in several geographic regions and ethnic clusters. Most of the studies rely on radiological data collected from evaluation of chest or neck radiographs of defined numbers.Methods: A similar study to ascertain its presence and incidence, apart from sexual and morphological pattern is required for Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India. The present study reports data extracted from study of 1500 radiographs and evaluating them for presence of cervical rib and other abnormalities. Demographic and other relevant details were noted.Results: Most of the cases were female and almost all cases of cervical rib or transversomegaly were bilateral. 0.8% and 1.4% cases were noted for cervical rib and transversomegaly respectively. Apart from it, 4 cases of vertebrae fusion and one case of hemi-vertebra leading to cervical scoliosis was also noted.Conclusions: The prevalence of cervical rib was comparable to other studies considering the sample size. The calculation of true incidence however will require multi-discipline collaboration and robust data. This study, however, is important for further work in this regard and adds value to existing literature.

“…About 0.2%–8% of the population has cervical rib in C7. [3456] We have evaluated anatomical structure of cervical rib and lateral mass conjoint on radiological images of patients having cervical rib. This anatomical feature compared with the images of patients without cervical rib.…”

Background and Aim:Defining a new screwing method for C7 posterior stabilization in case of a cervical rib existence aimed in this report.Materials and Methods:Ten adult patients, five of which without cervical rib (Group 1) and the other five of which (Group 2) with cervical rib that has been chosen from the radiology archive. Axial, sagittal, coronal sections of cervical computed tomography and three-dimensional images were obtained. Lateral mass sizes of all cases were measured and compared between two groups. The relationship between cervical rib and lateral mass was identified in Group 2.Results:The mean length, width, and height of lateral masses were measured respectively, as 5.4, 17.6, and 12.7 mm in Group 1. The measurement of Group 2 (with cervical rib) revealed the mean length of 20.7, the width of 20.4, and the height of 15.9 mm. When both groups were compared, there were no significant differences between the width and height of the lateral masses. However, axial measurements of Group 2 revealed a remarkable and significant length for screwing.Conclusion:In patients with cervical rib, directing lateral mass screw toward cervical rib conjoint can present a simple and reliable alternative method in C7 posterior stabilization process.
