    Area of Science:

    • Anatomical variations
    • Medical imaging
    • Thoracic anatomy

    Background:

    • The sternum, a central bone in the chest, can present anatomical variations.
    • A midline sternal foramen is a rare congenital anomaly of the sternum.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the incidence of midline sternal foramen detected via computed tomography (CT).
    • To highlight this anatomical variation in thoracic imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of thoracic CT scans.
    • Identification and documentation of midline sternal foramina.

    Main Results:

    • Six cases of midline sternal foramen were identified.
    • The incidence of this anomaly was found to be 4.3% in the studied patient cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Midline sternal foramen is an uncommon finding in thoracic CT.
    • Awareness of this anatomical variation is important for radiologists interpreting chest imaging.
