Cervical Rib Syndrome
A condition associated with compression of the BRACHIAL PLEXUS; SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY; and SUBCLAVIAN VEIN at the thoracic outlet and caused by a complete or incomplete anomalous CERVICAL RIB or fascial band connecting the tip of a cervical rib with the first thoracic rib. Clinical manifestations may include pain in the neck and shoulder which radiates into the upper extremity, PARESIS or PARALYSIS of brachial plexus innervated muscles; sensory loss; PARESTHESIAS; ISCHEMIA; and EDEMA.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
A neurovascular syndrome associated with compression of the BRACHIAL PLEXUS; SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY; and SUBCLAVIAN VEIN at the superior thoracic outlet. This may result from a variety of anomalies such as a CERVICAL RIB, anomalous fascial bands, and abnormalities of the origin or insertion of the anterior or medial scalene muscles. Clinical features may include pain in the shoulder and neck region which radiates into the arm, PARESIS or PARALYSIS of brachial plexus innervated muscles, PARESTHESIA, loss of sensation, reduction of arterial pulses in the affected extremity, ISCHEMIA, and EDEMA.

Management of cervical ribs and anomalous first ribs causing neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome. (1/10)
OBJECTIVE: Cervical and anomalous first ribs are rare conditions, occurring in less than 1% of the population. This manuscript reviews our management of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) associated with these congenital anomalies. METHODS: During the past 26 years, 65 operations were performed for abnormal ribs that produced symptoms of TOS. Of these, 54 operations were for neurogenic TOS and are covered in this paper. Indications for surgery were disabling pain and paresthesia and failure to respond to conservative treatment. Surgical technique for neurogenic TOS was supraclavicular cervical rib resection and scalenectomy without first rib resection in 22 cases, supraclavicular cervical and first rib resection in 17 cases, supraclavicular excision of anomalous first ribs in five cases, and transaxillary anomalous first rib resections in two cases (total, 46 cases). Eight reoperations were performed for recurrent TOS in patients who previously had undergone cervical and first rib resections. RESULTS: Neck trauma was the cause of neurogenic symptoms in 80% of patients with cervical or anomalous first ribs. The surgical failure rate was 28% for 46 primary operations. A significant variable in results was the etiology of the symptoms. The failure rate for patients in whom symptoms developed after work-related injuries or repetitive stress at work was 42%, and the failure rates for patients whose symptoms followed an auto accident or developed spontaneously were 26% and 18%, respectively. The failure rate in each etiology group also was affected by the operation performed. The failure rate for cervical rib resection without first rib resection in the work-related group was 75% compared with a failure rate of 38% in the non-work-related group. In contrast, when both cervical and first ribs were resected, the failure rate in the work-related group fell to 25% and in the non-work-related group to 20%. These failure rates for the work-related and non-work-related groups are similar to our failure rates in patients without cervical ribs. CONCLUSION: Surgery for neurogenic TOS in patients with cervical ribs should include both cervical and first rib resection. The presence of cervical or anomalous first ribs in patients with neurogenic TOS does not improve the success rate from surgery compared with patients without abnormal ribs. Neck trauma is the most common cause for neurogenic TOS in patients with abnormal ribs. Cervical and anomalous first ribs are the predisposing factors rather than the cause.

The case is reported of a 32 year old woman with acute on chronic upper limb ischaemia due to thrombus from a cervical rib that had compressed the right subclavian artery of her dominant hand after use of a rowing machine. If not detected early, this condition can be debilitating especially in the young. A multidisciplinary approach is advisable to ensure a satisfactory outcome. (+info)Sonography for diagnosis of cervical ribs in children. (3/10)
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this series was to describe the use of sonography for diagnosis of cervical ribs in children. METHODS: Two children had hard nonmobile supraclavicular masses that were of clinical concern for malignancy. Both children were first evaluated by sonography. RESULTS: Sonography showed each mass to be a tubular bony structure with a cartilaginous end. They were thought to represent cervical ribs. This anatomic variant was subsequently confirmed with radiography in 1 case and computed tomography in the other. CONCLUSIONS: Musculoskeletal sonography may offer a reliable method for diagnosing cervical ribs without the need for ionizing radiation. (+info)A "hard" neck lump. (4/10)
We discuss a case of an asymptomatic cervical rib presenting as a hard neck lump in a 56-year-old woman. Cervical rib is a common condition associated with thoracic outlet syndrome. The diagnosis, investigation and management of this condition is an important differential diagnosis that an ENT surgeon should know in a patient presenting with a neck mass.

During 16 years of study at Northwick Park Hospital 715 fetuses were radiographed to determine the incidence of skeletal malformations. A technique using low kV and industrial film provided higher resolution radiographs than would have been possible in live births because of dose considerations. Gestational age calculated from LMP and ultrasound findings ranged from less than 18 weeks to 42 weeks. A separate costal element of C7, the possible precursor of a cervical rib, could be identified in 63% of fetuses. Males outnumbered females 403:311 but there was no intersex difference in the presence of such rudimentary cervical ribs with 63 and 64% respectively in each group. Of the 452 cases with separate costal elements, 73% were bilateral. Of the unilateral group 60% occurred on the right and 40% on the left. There was no significant difference in the incidence between the gestational age groups from 20 weeks onwards, confirming that the disappearance of the separate element occurs predominantly after birth, 394 cases (87%) of fetuses had an otherwise normal skeleton.

(+info)Cervical Rib Syndrome is a condition characterized by the presence of an extra cervical rib or elongated transverse process originating from the seventh cervical vertebra, which can compress surrounding nerves and blood vessels, leading to symptoms such as neck pain, shoulder pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arm.
Cervical rib syndrome is a condition that results from the presence of an extra rib, called a cervical rib, that develops at the base of the neck and extends upwards from the seventh cervical vertebra. This additional rib can put pressure on the surrounding nerves and blood vessels, leading to symptoms such as:
* Pain or numbness in the arm, hand, or fingers
* Weakness or loss of coordination in the hands and arms
* Tingling or a sensation of "pins and needles" in the affected area
* Difficulty swallowing or breathing
The pressure on the brachial plexus, a network of nerves that passes through the cervical region and supplies the upper limb, can cause these symptoms. The compression of the subclavian artery, which runs between the cervical rib and the first rib, can also lead to insufficient blood flow to the arm, causing pain and discoloration.
Cervical rib syndrome is a rare condition that affects less than 1% of the population. Treatment options include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical removal of the cervical rib.
A cervical rib is an anomalous rib-like structure arising from the seventh cervical vertebra, or rarely the sixth, and projecting usually as a small bony process or sometimes a fully formed rib, which can vary in length and may articulate with the first thoracic vertebra or directly with the sternum.
A cervical rib is a congenital anomaly, which means it is present at birth, and it refers to the existence of an extra rib that arises from the seventh cervical vertebra in the neck. Normally, humans have 12 pairs of ribs attached to the thoracic vertebrae in the chest region. However, in some individuals, an additional rib develops from one or both sides of the seventh cervical vertebra, resulting in a cervical rib.
Cervical ribs are usually asymptomatic and may not cause any issues. However, in some cases, they can compress nearby nerves (such as the brachial plexus) or blood vessels (like the subclavian artery), leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arm and hand, also known as thoracic outlet syndrome. If the compression is severe or causes significant discomfort, treatment options may include physical therapy, pain management, or surgical removal of the cervical rib.
In human anatomy, ribs are a series of 12 curved bones that together with the sternum enclose and protect the chest cavity, support breathing by expanding and contracting with the diaphragm during respiration, and attach to the thoracic vertebrae in the spine.
In medical terms, ribs are the long, curved bones that make up the ribcage in the human body. They articulate with the thoracic vertebrae posteriorly and connect to the sternum anteriorly via costal cartilages. There are 12 pairs of ribs in total, and they play a crucial role in protecting the lungs and heart, allowing room for expansion and contraction during breathing. Ribs also provide attachment points for various muscles involved in respiration and posture.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is a group of disorders that occur when the blood vessels or nerves in the thoracic outlet, a space between the neck and shoulder, are compressed, resulting in pain and/or neurological symptoms in the arm and hand.
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a group of disorders that occur when the blood vessels or nerves in the thoracic outlet, the space between the collarbone (clavicle) and the first rib, become compressed. This compression can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulder, arm, and hand.
There are three types of TOS:
1. Neurogenic TOS: This is the most common type and occurs when the nerves (brachial plexus) that pass through the thoracic outlet become compressed, causing symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arm and hand.
2. Venous TOS: This type occurs when the veins that pass through the thoracic outlet become compressed, leading to swelling, pain, and discoloration of the arm.
3. Arterial TOS: This is the least common type and occurs when the arteries that pass through the thoracic outlet become compressed, causing decreased blood flow to the arm, which can result in pain, numbness, and coldness in the arm and hand.
TOS can be caused by a variety of factors, including an extra rib (cervical rib), muscle tightness or spasm, poor posture, repetitive motions, trauma, or tumors. Treatment for TOS may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgery.
The subclavian artery is a major arterial branch that supplies blood to the upper extremity, chest wall, and head and neck regions, originating from the brachiocephalic trunk or directly from the aortic arch.
The subclavian artery is a major blood vessel that supplies the upper limb and important structures in the neck and head. It arises from the brachiocephalic trunk (in the case of the right subclavian artery) or directly from the aortic arch (in the case of the left subclavian artery).
The subclavian artery has several branches, including:
1. The vertebral artery, which supplies blood to the brainstem and cerebellum.
2. The internal thoracic artery (also known as the mammary artery), which supplies blood to the chest wall, breast, and anterior mediastinum.
3. The thyrocervical trunk, which gives rise to several branches that supply the neck, including the inferior thyroid artery, the suprascapular artery, and the transverse cervical artery.
4. The costocervical trunk, which supplies blood to the neck and upper back, including the posterior chest wall and the lower neck muscles.
The subclavian artery is a critical vessel in maintaining adequate blood flow to the upper limb, and any blockage or damage to this vessel can lead to significant morbidity, including arm pain, numbness, weakness, or even loss of function.
A syndrome is a set of symptoms that collectively indicate a specific disease, disorder, or condition, often representing a common pathway or pattern of underlying physiological processes and/or anatomical abnormalities.
A syndrome, in medical terms, is a set of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterize a disease, disorder, or underlying pathological process. It's essentially a collection of signs and/or symptoms that frequently occur together and can suggest a particular cause or condition, even though the exact physiological mechanisms might not be fully understood.
For example, Down syndrome is characterized by specific physical features, cognitive delays, and other developmental issues resulting from an extra copy of chromosome 21. Similarly, metabolic syndromes like diabetes mellitus type 2 involve a group of risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels that collectively increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
It's important to note that a syndrome is not a specific diagnosis; rather, it's a pattern of symptoms that can help guide further diagnostic evaluation and management.

Rib fractures are breaks or cracks in the rib bones, which can occur at any location along the rib's length, often caused by direct trauma or severe coughing, and may result in pain, difficulty breathing, and increased risk of complications such as pneumonia.
Rib fractures are breaks or cracks in the bones that make up the rib cage, which is the protective structure around the lungs and heart. Rib fractures can result from direct trauma to the chest, such as from a fall, motor vehicle accident, or physical assault. They can also occur from indirect forces, such as during coughing fits in people with weakened bones (osteoporosis).
Rib fractures are painful and can make breathing difficult, particularly when taking deep breaths or coughing. In some cases, rib fractures may lead to complications like punctured lungs (pneumothorax) or collapsed lungs (atelectasis), especially if multiple ribs are broken in several places.
It is essential to seek medical attention for suspected rib fractures, as proper diagnosis and management can help prevent further complications and promote healing. Treatment typically involves pain management, breathing exercises, and, in some cases, immobilization or surgery.

Shoulders2
- Thoracic outlet syndrome is usually treated with physical therapy which helps strengthen and straighten out the shoulders. (medlineplus.gov)
- Another practitioner recommended using a custom Trulife Minerva cervical thoracic orthosis (CTO), which has a large surface area over the chest, shoulder, and back to prevent pressure on the shoulders, or a cervical-thoracic-lumbar-sacral orthosis that anchors at the hips. (oandp.com)
Findings1
- As mentioned earlier, cervical ribs are usually accidental findings. (scienceabc.com)

Elbow1
- Most patients with carpal tunnel syndromes or ulnar neuropathies not only have compressive lesions at the wrist or elbow, but they also have evidence of damage at the level of the cervical roots. (drdavidheidenonline.com)
Scalene3
- Neurogenic and arterial TOS result from compression that occurs in the scalene triangle, which is defined by the first rib, the anterior scalene muscle, and the middle scalene muscle. (medscape.com)
- What many clinicians call the thoracic outlet is really the scalene triangle divisible into a lower portion or thoracic outlet (for subclavian vessels and nerve roots C8 and T1) and an upper portion or cervical outlet (for nerve roots C5, C6, and normally C7). (medscape.com)
