title: Bilateral fracture of the first ribs.
abstract: Fractures of the first rib are uncommon. Bilateral fractures of the first rib are still rarer. A case of bilateral fracture of the first rib due to indirect trauma is reported because of its rarity. Pain at the base of the neck was the presenting symptom in our case and analgesia was the only treatment.
