Isolated Cervical Rib Fracture : A Rare Etiology of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

الملخص EN

Isolated fracture of a cervical rib is a very rare entity and usually presents as a painless swelling or as thoracic outlet syndrome.

We describe a case of a 45-year-old woman with history of fall two months back.

She presented with symptoms of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome for one month.

Isolated left cervical rib fracture was documented on X-ray cervical spine.

Her fractured cervical rib was resected through a supraclavicular approach, and symptoms resolved completely in the postoperative period.
