Although cervical ribs are usually asymptomatic, they are the most important anatomic rib variant clinically, because they can cause thoracic outlet syndrome by compression of the brachial plexus or subclavian artery/vein.

Right sided Cervical Rib was excised via supraclavicular approach. Patient remained uneventful post operatively and was discharged home. She followed up in Outpatient Department after 6 weeks and her numbness and pain of right sided upper limb vanished away post operatively.

Her left sided Cervical Rib was excised via supraclavicular approach after 2 months of 1st surgery. Her post op recovery remained uneventful and she was discharged home 3rd post op day. No numbness and pain in both upper limbs is observed after her surgery now.

A schwannoma is a tumor that grows in the sheaths of nerves in your peripheral nervous system(the parts of your nervous system that aren’t in your brain or spinal cord). Schwannomas are usually benign, meaning they’re harmless. In rare cases, they can be malignant, or cancerous. Malignant schwannomas are also called soft tissue sarcomas. Schwannomas usually don’t produce symptoms until they become large enough to put pressure on the nerves around them. You may feel occasional pain in the area that’s controlled by the affected nerve.
