Abstract

Four patients with chronic airflow obstruction developed spontaneous sternal fractures. All had received repeated courses of high dose corticosteroids and three were receiving long term treatment with low dose corticosteroids. It is important to consider sternal fracture in the differential diagnosis when patients with chronic airflow obstruction present with chest pain.

摘要

四名慢性气流阻塞患者发生了自发性胸骨骨折。他们均接受过多次大剂量皮质类固醇治疗疗程，且其中三名患者正在接受低剂量皮质类固醇长期治疗。当慢性气流阻塞患者出现胸痛时，在鉴别诊断中考虑胸骨骨折很重要。
