Cervical ribs—An anatomical obstacle for upper limb regional blocks

Anatomic variations of the cervical and supraclavicular regions are possible with an impact on regional anesthesia strategy. The presence of cervical ribs may obstruct needle visualization for brachial plexus block in those regions. Preprocedural scan may help in choosing the appropriate technique.
