Introduction: Bifid rib as pathoanatomical findings on chest X-ray is a skeletal disorder. It is usually unilateral and commonly found in males. Bifid ribs commonly happen in absence of structural defects of the vertebrae.
Presentation Of Case: The case of this report is a 65-year-old with severe infection of Covid 19. He was admitted to the ICU. Imaging findings indicate existence of a bifid rib with vertebral fusion.
Discussion: Bifurcated ribs usually have been described without vertebral defects. In our case, there is a bifurcated rib with fused vertebrae. These defects are also defined in the criteria of Gorlin syndrome.
Conclusion: Unlike other rib abnormalities, the bifid rib occurs mainly in the absence of a vertebral defect, but this study reports a bifid rib with vertebral defects.

Spondylo-Thoracic Dysplasia: Survival, a Rare Occurrence.

Pediatric Medicine, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Spondylo-thoracic dysplasia (STD) is a rare congenital condition that affects the vertebrae and thoracic area, often leading to serious respiratory issues and a high risk of early death in neonates.
- The text details the case of a one-day-old male newborn with severe respiratory distress and various physical anomalies, including scoliosis and rib deformities, identified through clinical examinations and imaging studies.
- The baby was diagnosed with STD, received conservative management, and survived past the neonatal period, offering insights into this particular variant of the condition.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the rare skeletal anomaly known as bifid rib, which appears in less than 1.5% of the population and faces challenges in identification due to postmortem damage and similarity to other conditions.
- - It presents five cases of rib bifurcation from four individuals across different populations in the Kujawy region of Poland, analyzed through morphological and paleoradiological methods.
- - The research also critiques existing evidence linking bifurcated ribs to naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome and proposes a new way to classify this anomaly in osteological studies.
Analysis of imaging features and clinical manifestations in children with congenital rib deformities: a retrospective study.

Background: Congenital rib deformity is a common thoracic deformity that has a potentially far-reaching impact on the growth and lung function development of young children. Early diagnosis and accurate assessment of congenital rib deformity is of great importance. This study was to retrospectively analyze the number, location, and types of deformities, imaging features as well as clinical symptoms of children with congenital rib deformities.

Article Synopsis
- The DYNC2H1 gene is linked to short-rib polydactyly syndrome (SRPS) and other skeletal ciliopathies, with two unique cases highlighting distinct phenotypes caused by splicing variants.
- The first case involved a 14-week-old fetus with severe malformations and two compound heterozygous variants that were initially uncertain but later deemed likely pathogenic after further testing.
- The second case presented an 11-year-old boy with various physical abnormalities and identified variants in DYNC2H1, underscoring the gene's role in conditions like SRPS and orofaciodigital syndrome, enhancing understanding of splicing variants' impacts.
