costochondritis - inflammation of rib cartilage

Tietze's Syndrome, also known as Costochondritis, is a benign inflammation of one or more of the costal cartilages. more

Tietze's Syndrome, also known as Costochondritis, is a benign inflammation of one or more of the costal cartilages.

Tietze's Syndrome and Costochondritis were initially described as separate conditions, the sole difference being that in Tietze's Syndrome there is swelling of the costal cartilages. It is now recognized that the presence or absence of swelling is only an indicator of the severity of the condition. It was at one time thought to be associated with, or caused by, a viral infection acquired during surgery, but this is now known not to be the case. Most sufferers have not had recent surgery. less
