Cervical ribs are supernumerary ribs arising from C7 and are more frequent than commonly appreciated on CT, where they may be overlooked without deliberate scrutiny of the thoracic inlet. Recognition matters because their morphology, length, and articulation vary and can predispose to local compressive phenomena.

Hyphema refers to hemorrhage into the anterior chamber of the eye, most often secondary to blunt or penetrating trauma. On non-contrast orbital CT, hyphema appears as a hyperdense collection filling or layering in the anterior chamber, anterior to the lens.
