We came across two right sided bifid ribs while teaching in department of anatomy, Al- Ameen medical college Bijapur. These ribs bifurcated at the sternal ends, in rib 2 it was 2.4cm and in rib 1 it was 3.3cm behind the costochondral joint as in fig. 1. Both bifurcated sternal ends had depressions at the tips for costal cartilages. Remaining features of the ribs were similar to normal rib. Bifid ribs are asymptomatic and associated with other diseases. Bifid ribs are common in 3rd or 4th rib. Knowledge of this malformation is needed for the differential diagnosis with other diseases such as chest wall tumor or rib fracture.&#13;
