EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating medical anomaly known as a cervical rib. The X-ray, labeled C017 / 8024, reveals the neck of a patient with an additional rib on the left side of their body. This congenital abnormality is present from birth and can be seen protruding above the normal ribs, joining with the cervical spine. The image provides valuable insight into the world of diagnostics and medicine. It highlights how radiography plays a crucial role in identifying such deformities within the human body. The presence of this extra bone disrupts the natural symmetry and structure of the neck, making it an unhealthy condition for those affected. Displayed by Science Photo Library, this print serves as both educational material for healthcare professionals specializing in orthopedics or orthopaedics and as an intriguing piece that sparks curiosity among individuals interested in human anatomy. It is important to note that this photograph should not be used for commercial purposes without proper authorization from Science Photo Library. Nonetheless, its significance lies in shedding light on rare birth defects like cervical ribs while reminding us about our complex yet beautifully diverse human bodies.
