AI Article Synopsis
- Tietze syndrome is an inflammatory condition affecting the area where the ribs meet the cartilage, leading to chest pain, swelling, and tenderness.
- A reported case involved a 35-year-old worker who developed post-traumatic Tietze syndrome after two injuries to the same chest area, confirmed by imaging showing bone issues.
- Treatment involved non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and the patient was given a 17% disability rating due to the pain's impact on movement, highlighting the need for better awareness of the condition among healthcare providers.
Article Abstract
Tietze syndrome is an inflammatory arthropathy of costochondral junction characterized by chest pain, tenderness and swelling. We reported the case of a 35-year-old worker with post traumatic Tietze syndrome. He had a history of two occupational chest traumas. They both occurred in the third left costo-chondral joint. Chest computed tomography showed located osteolysis. Differential diagnoses were excluded. He was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics. As for partial permanent disability, we suggested 17% given the importance of the pain and its impact on mobility. Tietze syndrome diagnosis was based on eliminating differential diagnoses. This study raises knowledge about post-traumatic etiology in Tietze syndrome. A better understanding of this pathology could help practitioners with patients facing chest wall pain.

Tietze syndrome is a relatively uncommon condition characterized by painful swelling localized in the costo-sternal, sternoclavicular, or costochondral joints. Despite its benign nature, Tietze syndrome can mimic more serious conditions, necessitating thorough evaluation and exclusion of differential diagnoses. Management typically involves non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroid therapy, with surgical intervention reserved for refractory cases.

Introduction: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that persists into adulthood with both social and cognitive disturbances. Asperger's syndrome (AS) was a distinguished subcategory of autism in the DSM-IV-TR defined by specific symptoms including difficulties in social interactions, inflexible thinking patterns, and repetitive behaviour without any delay in language or cognitive development. Studying the functional brain organization of individuals with these specific symptoms may help to better understand Autism spectrum symptoms.
