A Previously Unreported Variant of a Thoracic Vertebra

Pathology associated with anomalous transverse processes is uncommon and usually involves elongated C7 transverse processes in the so-called cervical rib syndrome. We report a single adult thoracic vertebra found to have duplicated transverse processes on the left side. We believe this to be the fir...

description Pathology associated with anomalous transverse processes is uncommon and usually involves elongated C7 transverse processes in the so-called cervical rib syndrome. We report a single adult thoracic vertebra found to have duplicated transverse processes on the left side. We believe this to be the first report of a duplicated transverse process in man. The clinician and anatomist who view osteological material or imaging should consider this an extremely rare anatomical variation of the thoracic spine.
