A similar condition known as slipping rib syndrome is also associated with chest pain and inflammation of the costal cartilage. [17] Unlike costochondritis, the pain associated with slipping rib syndrome is often felt in the lower ribs, abdomen, and back, commonly affecting the interchondral junctions of the false 8th to 10th ribs.
Iliocostal friction syndrome, also known as costoiliac impingement syndrome, is a condition in which the costal margin comes in contact with the iliac crest.The condition presents as low back pain which may radiate to other surrounding areas as a result of irritated nerve, tendon, and muscle structures.
Tietze syndrome affects the true ribs and has a predilection for the 2nd and 3rd ribs, commonly affecting only a single joint. In environments such as the emergency department, an estimated 20-50% of non-cardiac chest pain is due to a musculoskeletal cause. [ 1 ]
Slipping rib syndrome (SRS) is a condition in which the interchondral ligaments are weakened or disrupted and have increased laxity, causing the costal cartilage tips to subluxate (partially dislocate). This results in pain or discomfort due to pinched or irritated intercostal nerves, straining of the intercostal muscles, and inflammation.
The lateral part of the CVA is formed by the lower border of the 12th rib, and the medial part of the CVA is formed by the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae. [1] The CVA is distinct from the costovertebral joints. [2] The lower poles of the kidneys are within the CVAs. [1] A small amount of pleura extends below the ribs in the CVAs. [2]
Involvement of the rib cartilages results in costochondritis. [3] Symptoms include chest wall pain or, less often, swelling of the involved cartilage. [3] The involvement of the ribs is seen in 35% of persons with RP but is rarely the first symptom. [3]
