👉 The term "dorsorentcostal" is a medical term used to describe the position of the thoracic spine in relation to the rib cage. This position occurs when the thoracic vertebrae are more anterior to the ribs, which can be due to various factors such as birth defects or developmental issues. The term is often used in conjunction with the name of the patient's mother, indicating that the child was born at a specific point along the spine.
