Bifid Rib Anomaly: A Case Report

Bifid rib is an anatomic variation that is characterized by the duplication of anterior end of the ribs. We can see numerical and structural anomalies of the ribs as isolated anomalies or rarely they can be part of a congenital syndrome. They are often asymptomatic or cause mild symptoms and detected incidentally. In this article a case admitted to the pediatric allergy clinic with complaints of coughing who had bifid rib as shown on lung x-ray ima- ging, is presented.
