Abstract

Congenital absence/hypoplasia/fusion of ribs are very rare anomalies and presentation varies from asymptomatic to life-threatening. Visibly evident cases are straightforward to diagnose but this is not always the case. Familiarity and awareness of these anomalies can help to diagnose cases with subtle signs and symptoms. Proper radiological investigations are vital for anatomical delineation. Absence or hypoplasia of the inferior ribs along with its attached muscles can cause ‘lung hernia’ that produces an unstable chest leading to paradoxical respiratory movements. Here, we present a case of hypoplastic and fused ribs in an infant, who presented with respiratory distress and created a diagnostic dilemma.
婴儿先天性肋骨异常伪装为膈疝1例报告
先天性肋骨缺失/发育不全/融合是非常罕见的异常,其表现从无症状到危及生命不等。明显的病例很容易诊断,但情况并非总是如此。熟悉和了解这些异常有助于诊断有细微体征和症状的病例。适当的放射学检查对解剖描绘至关重要。下肋骨及其附属肌肉的缺失或发育不全可引起“肺疝”,导致胸部不稳定,导致矛盾的呼吸运动。在这里,我们提出一个病例发育不良和融合的肋骨在一个婴儿,谁提出呼吸窘迫和创造诊断困境。
