Anomaly : This is most likley an anomaly (a normal variant). In fact, some of the bony prominence on the vertebrae have been observed to vary between racial groups. Based on these observation, some have proposed categorizing human beings into subspecies.

Arm symptoms?: Enlargement of the C7 transverse process can be associated with thoracic outlet syndrome and is a more subtle finding similar to the presence of a true cervical rib. Classic tos symptoms involve the lower trunk of the brachial plexus with numbness and pain extending into the 4th and 5th digits of the hand and hand weakness.
