    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Gastroenterology
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Slipping rib syndrome is a condition characterized by hypermobility of the lower rib cartilages.
    • It primarily affects the lower ribs, typically ribs 8, 9, or 10.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical characteristics of slipping rib syndrome.
    • To identify patient demographics and common symptoms associated with the condition.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey of 46 patients diagnosed with slipping rib syndrome was conducted.
    • Data collected included patient demographics, symptom presentation, pain triggers, and response to treatment.

    Main Results:

    • The condition predominantly affects middle-aged individuals, with equal prevalence in men and women.

  • Upper abdominal pain, often unilateral but sometimes bilateral, is the primary symptom, exacerbated by movement and specific postures.
  • Pain is precisely reproduced by palpation of the costal margin.

    • Conclusions:

    • Slipping rib syndrome is a condition seen in middle-aged adults, presenting with characteristic upper abdominal pain.
    • While the exact cause remains unknown, symptoms can be managed effectively through reassurance and local anesthetic injections.
