Abstract

Intrathoracic ribs are very rare congenital anomalies. Approximately 50 cases have been reported in the literature till date. They are usually present on the right side, between the third and eighth ribs without sex predominance. They may originate from a vertebral body or the proximal or distal part of a rib. In most cases, they are asymptomatic, but they may be associated with developmental abnormalities of ribs and vertebrae. The diagnosis is important to prevent further investigation or intervention. Here we present two rare cases with supernumerary intrathoracic rib and describe a novel sign, namely expansion of the rib head. To the best of our knowledge, this is the shortest supernumerary intrathoracic rib, reported in the literature, on the left side originating from the head of the second rib, which could have been misdiagnosed as osteochondroma due to its atypical features

Özet

Intratorasik kostalar çok nadir görülen anomaliler arasında yer almaktadır. Şimdiye kadar literatürde 50'ye yakın vaka bildirilmiştir. Genellikle sağ tarafta ve 3.-8. kosta orjinli olup cinsiyetler arasında sıklık farkı bulunmamaktadır. Vertebra gövdesinden, kostaların proksimal veya distal kesimlerinden köken alabilir. Vakaların çoğunda semptoma neden olmazken kosta ve vertebra gelişimsel anomalisi ile ilişki gösterebilir. Tanının doğru konulması ileri araştırılma veya girişimsel işlemlerin önlenmesinde önemlidir. Bu vaka takdiminde, süpernümerer intratorasik kosta anomalisi olan 2 hasta sunduk ve daha önce tanımlanmamış "kosta başı ekspansiyonu" bulgusunu tanımladık. Hastalarımızdan birindeki atipik bulguları nedeniyle osteokondrom ile karışabilecek süpernümerer intratorasik kosta anomalisi (Sol 2. kosta baş kesminden köken alan) şimdiye kadar tanımlanmış intratorasik kosta anomalileri arasında en kısası idi
