Figure 5.

Short rib. MDCT (A - threedimensional reconstruction; B - coronal view; C - axial oblique maximum intensity projection on the longitudinal axis of the rib) showing hypoplasia of the right fifth rib that presents a lower inclination at its anterior end (white arrows), juxtaposed with the middle aspect of the ipsilateral sixth rib (red arrows). Note the asymmetry when compared with the contralateral rib in the coronal and axial images, together with the locoregional deformity of the rib cage (dotted line).
