To describe the sonographic appearance of a poorly recognized cause of low thoracic or upper abdominal pain.
Three sonographic descriptions of slipping rib syndrome are presented.
The 3 patients had abnormal mobility of a cartilaginous rib, which could slip over an adjacent rib during abdominal muscle contraction.
Slipping rib syndrome should be considered in patients with histories of upper abdominal or low thoracic pain of unknown origin. We suggest that high-resolution sonography of the costal margin should be added to abdominal sonography in cases of nonspecific abdominal pain.
描述一种较少被认识到的导致下胸部或上腹部疼痛的病因的超声表现。
呈现了三例肋滑综合征的超声描述。
3例患者的软骨肋骨活动异常，在腹部肌肉收缩时可滑过相邻肋骨。
对于有不明原因的上腹部或下胸部疼痛病史的患者，应考虑肋滑综合征。我们建议，在非特异性腹痛病例中，腹部超声检查应增加肋缘的高分辨率超声检查。
