Cervical rib is a rare congenital condition in which an extra rib develops near the neck and attaches to the first rib. it is caused by a developmental abnormality in the fetus, which results in the extra rib forming during the early stages of embryonic development.
What happens during the disease - cervical rib
Cervical rib is a rare congenital abnormality in which a rib is present above the normal ribcage. it is caused by an abnormal development of the cervical vertebrae which can cause the rib to become longer and thicker than a normal rib. this can lead to compression of the brachial plexus, the network of nerves that control the muscles of the shoulder, arm, and hand, causing pain and numbness in the affected area. in extreme cases, it can cause severe vascular problems, such as thoracic outlet syndrome, as well as other musculoskeletal issues.
