Cervical ribs: identification on MRI and clinical relevance.
[thoracic outlet syndrome]
To
determine
the
prevalence
of
cervical
ribs
on
cervical
spine
MRI
and
clinical
relevance
,
we
reviewed
2500
studies
for
cervical
ribs
and
compression
of
neurovascular
structures
and
compared
to
CT
,
when
available
.
Brachial
plexus
or
subclavian
artery
contact
by
cervical
rib
was
identified
on
MRI
and
/
or
CT
in
12
cases
with
diagnosis
of
thoracic
outlet
syndrome
in
one
.
Cervical
ribs
were
identified
on
1
.
2
%
(
25
/
2083
)
of
examinations
,
lower
than
on
CT
(
2
%
)
,
but
MRI
may
offer
equivalent
anatomic
explanation
for
patient
symptoms
.
