Rippenusuren

Rib notching refers to deformation of the superior or inferior surface of the rib. It can affect a single rib (from trauma or solitary masses e.g. schwannoma) or can affect multiple ribs.

The differentials differ according to whether it is the superior or inferior surface that is notched.
