Background: Intrathoracic ribs are very rare congenital anomalies, and often discovered incidentally on chest X-ray. Since its first description by Lutz in 1947, approximately 50 cases have been reported in the literature till date. The aim is to review the all reported intrathoracic ribs, summarize their clinical features, and propose a potential classification. Methods: All relevant literatures were searched and reviewed. The terms include intrathoracic rib, intrathoracic bifid rib, trans-thoracic rib and intrathoracic rib anomaly. We have summarized the first finding events, origination, distribution, related anomalies and imaging features of intrathoracic rib, and propose an updated classification. Results: The patients' age at initial finding was from six weeks to 79 years old. Of all, sixty percent was less than 30 years old. There was no difference in gender. Most of them were reported by authors in western countries (85.3%, 58/68), and incidental findings by radiologist and respiratory physician. The intrathoracic rib occurs more frequently on the right side, and is usually single and unilateral. According to the new classification, type I and II was account for 45.6% and 35.3%, respectively. Conclusion: Intrathoracic rib is rare findings in clinical practice. It is useful that radiologists or clinician are familiarized with the imaging appearances of these malformations. These anomalies reflect some disturbances during the embryo development, leading us to propose a potential classification that could contribute to a better understanding of this rib anomaly.

“…It has been shown that hemivertebra may be associated with other congenital musculoskeletal anomalies including spine, limbs, and ribs malformations, neural tube defects, and extramusculoskeletal anomalies including the cardiac, genitourinary, central nervous system, and gastrointestinal tract anomalies, probably due to anatomically unbalanced growth between hemivertebra and structural differentiation of surrounding spine (Bohiltea et al, 2022;Chaturvedi et al, 2018;Moser, 2005;Varras & Akrivis, 2010;Yang et al, 2020). Because the structure of the ribs is formed in close association with vertebrae during gestation, the same developmental failures that lead to hemivertebra are attributed to rib abnormalities (Fischer & Degenhardt, 2008).…”

Thoracic hemivertebra is one of the rare congenital vertebral anomalies in horses resulting in vertebral column deformity with or without neurological signs. A nine-month-old Racking filly was presented with a distinct bump over the back region. This bump was apparent at birth and has been increasing in size. Clinical examination revealed a painless kyphoscoliosis over the thoracic vertebrae with mild ataxia and abnormal gait of hindlimbs. In plain lateral radiographs of thoracic vertebrae, hemivertebrae were seen in the 13th-15th thoracic vertebrae. At myelography performed under general anaesthesia, the ventral and dorsal aspects of the contrast medium column were narrowing at the level of the 13th-14th thoracic vertebrae, and no sign of contrast medium after the 14th thoracic vertebra that represents spinal cord compression. Little information about hemivertebra in horses exists and a better understanding of hemivertebra etiology is required.

“…Intrathoracic ribs are uncommon congenital variation where an incomplete supra- or normonumerary rib follows an abnormal course in the intrathoracic cavity and may originate from a vertebra or a rib [ 3 ].

Recognition of a rare intrathoracic rib with computed tomography: a case report

et al. 2017

One of the uncommon congenital variations is intrathoracic rib which a normal, a bifid, or an accessory rib lies within the thoracic cavity that is founded accidentally. Clinically, in most cases they are without symptoms; however, it may cause intrathoracic problems therefore it is important for radiologists and physicians to identify to prevent of excessive intervention and treatment during imaging diagnostic techniques of thoracic problems. In this report, we provide the case of a rare presentation of an intrathoracic rib in a 3-year-old boy arising from the inferior portion of a second rib based on findings from computed tomography. To our knowledge, this is only the second reported case of this type of intrathoracic rib that demonstrated with computed tomography.
