Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Pain Management
  • Thoracic Surgery

Background:

  • Slipping rib syndrome is a rare and underdiagnosed cause of abdominal and thoracic pain.
  • A significant portion of reported cases involve patients with psychological comorbidities, influencing treatment recommendations.

Observation:

  • The case highlights radicular pain, a history of injury, and negative ancillary findings.
  • A positive response to the hooking maneuver was a key diagnostic indicator.

Findings:

  • Intercostal nerve block provided significant pain relief, confirming the diagnosis.
  • Conservative management, including reassurance, is often effective for slipping rib syndrome.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering slipping rib syndrome in patients with unexplained chest or abdominal pain.
