Tilted Ribcage

Asked for Female, 32 years

My rib cage looks like its kind of tilted. My left side is sticking out about 3 inches and my right seems to be inside. I went to a x-ray center and they said that I may have cartilage built up on my right or could be some genetic disorder. Me and my brother are the only ones in our family to show this issue. Is this normal?

Dear Patient,

This is although an unusual way for the ribs to be, but in the abscence of any pain or other symptoms it is best to leave such deformities aside. However, if it is a cosmetic concern for you-you could meet a plastic surgeon at a reputable hospital and take his opinion on this issue.
