What Could Cause Overlapping, Protruding Rib In An Infant?
Hello.. my daughter is 15 months old and has a brother who is 26 months. He is highly aggressive due to needing and longing for the energy he has built up to b dispersed. . Today we noticed my daughter has what feels like to me an overlapping rib.. its protruding and you can kinda see it. Shes never shown any signs of pain either... what would you think this is (she was diagnosed with a CCAM in utero and was last checked at 3-4 months old)

Hi,
It may be a rib anomaly.
X-ray will show it clearly.
Even the old X-ray done for CCAM may show.!!!
Glad thee baby does not have CCAM!!!!!!!
God bless
