A Rare Cause of Unilateral Rib Notching

A Rare Cause of Unilateral Rib Notching

The TOF anatomy is demonstrated from D to G. Rib notching secondary to Major aortopulmonary collaterals is rare, as they do not run in the intercostal grooves (1), but when they arise from the inter costal arteries, notching of ribs could be expected as in this case. @ = infundibular pulmonary steno...

Description
Summary:The TOF anatomy is demonstrated from D to G. Rib notching secondary to Major aortopulmonary collaterals is rare, as they do not run in the intercostal grooves (1), but when they arise from the inter costal arteries, notching of ribs could be expected as in this case. @ = infundibular pulmonary stenosis; IVS = interventricular septum; LA = left atrium; LPA = left pulmonary artery; LV = left ventricle; PA = pulmonary artery; RPA = right pulmonary artery; RV = right ventricle; VSD = ventricular septal defect.
