The classical presentation of the disease process involves the following: Chest tightness sometimes is compared with the pain and sensation of a heart attack. [syndrome.org]
An electrocardiogram (ECG) should be performed on all patients that present with acute chest pain. Lab results for this syndrome are non-specific. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Signs and symptoms [ edit ] The main presentation of the syndrome is significant, acute pain in the chest, along with tenderness and some swelling of the cartilages affected, which is commonly palpable on examination. [en.wikipedia.org]

Entire Body System
- Pain
Generally chest pain due to cardiac causes is not associated with any redness, swelling, or pain to the touch; so occasionally presence of these symptoms is sufficient to decrease the suspicion of cardiac chest pain. [zocdoc.com]
To help with the pain, your healthcare provider may suggest pain relievers such as over-the-counter (OTC) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). If your pain persists, they may prescribe a stronger pain reliever. [healthline.com]
If you have any of the following symptoms then you should see a doctor immediately: severe chest pain severe breathlessness chest pain worse on exercise crushing chest pain chest pain going into the arm, neck or jaw. [your.md]
Persistent chest pain of any type associated with nausea, sweating, left arm pain, or any generalized chest pain that is not well localized: These symptoms can be signs of a heart attack. [jenlynn401.wordpress.com]
TS pain sometimes resolves without the need for medical treatment. In other cases, a person with TS may experience persistent or relapsing pain. [medicalnewstoday.com]
- Swelling
Costochondritis is inflammation of the costochondral joints without swelling. Tietze's syndrome, on the other hand, implies swelling and tenderness at the costochondral joints with an insidious onset of pain. [ajol.info]
Symptoms Pain, tenderness, and spindle-shaped swelling occur in one or more of the 4 upper ribs. Most patients have only one joint involved, usually the second or third costochondral joint. The tenderness and swelling are localized. [healthcentral.com]
You may still suffer from some swelling when the tenderness and pain have already left you. [healthresearchfunding.org]
Tietze’s causes inflammation, tenderness, and swelling. According to the Mayo clinic, swelling is absent with costochondritis. [smashwords.com]
- Inflammation
Blood testing ( sedimentation rate or C-reactive protein test) can show signs of inflammation in patients with Tietze syndrome, whereas patients with costochondritis alone typically have normal tests for inflammation. [medicinenet.com]

Blood testing can show signs of inflammation in patients with Tietze syndrome, whereas patients with costochondritis alone typically have normal tests for inflammation. [arthritis-unplugged.com]
Usually, the condition is compared with costochondritis but their distinct difference is that Tietze syndrome involves inflammation and swelling of the costal cartilages. [syndrome.org]
Inflammation A pre-clinical study done on inflammation in rat’s paws showed the CBD (cannabidiol) could improve certain symptoms of inflammation. [marijuanadoctors.com]
- Surgical Procedure
Like in the case for costochondritis, this syndrome was once linked to viral infections acquired during a surgical procedure. [integratedpainmanagement.com]
Respiratoric
- Cough
It is described to be more common in young adults often following upper respiratory tract infections or excessive coughing. [link.springer.com]
The pain associated with Tietze syndrome may worsen due to sneezing, coughing, or strenuous activity or exercise. The exact cause is not known (idiopathic). [unitedpatientsgroup.com]
It may be accompanied by shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, light-headedness and nausea. If that’s what you’re feeling, call the emergency services immediately. [hitafit.com]
The pain is aggravated by physical activity, movement, deep inspiration, coughing or sneezing. There is commonly a history of recent illness with coughing, or recent strenuous exercise. There is localised tenderness. [patient.info]
- Pneumonia
The pain can be similar to coronary heart disease, pneumonia or fibromyalgia. Sometimes the pain may spread to affect the neck, arms and shoulders. Redness (erythema) and warmth of the affected area may also be present. [theglutenfreechefblog.com]
This will then lead to further infections, such as pneumonia and should be avoided. Alexander Tietze, a German Surgeon first decribed the condition in 1921. [emergencymedicalparamedic.com]
Pneumonia - cough, fever, chest signs. Pulmonary embolism (PE) - pleuritic pain, breathlessness, tachypnoea, reduced oxygen saturation on pulse oximetry. [patient.info]
Chest X-ray should be obtained if pneumonia is a suspected cause of chest pain. ECG and other tests will be done if a heart problem is being considered. [jenlynn401.wordpress.com]
- Pleuritic Pain
Pulmonary embolism (PE) - pleuritic pain, breathlessness, tachypnoea, reduced oxygen saturation on pulse oximetry. Thoracic aortic aneurysm dissection - sudden tearing pain, blood pressure difference between arms. [patient.info]
Gastrointestinal
- Vomiting
Sometimes, the development of the disorder may be preceded by chronic, excessive coughing, vomiting, trauma or impact to the chest, viral or bacterial infections, or surgery to the thoracic area. [unitedpatientsgroup.com]
Some infections could increase the likelihood of persistent coughing or vomiting, both of which are known risk factors for TS. TS shares similarities with other disorders of the ribs and chest, including costochondritis and intercostal neuralgia. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Although the true cause of Tietze's Syndrome is unknown, however factors that may increase the likelihood of developing this condition include: Direct injury to the chest Repeated stress on coughing, sneezing, vomiting, or impacts to the chest. [physio.co.uk]
The pain in my chest was so gruesome that it made me stand on the tips of my toes (funny, usually when I vomit I sink through my knees...). It wasn't the stomach pain from vomiting...it was the unbearably pinching in my chest that was killing me. [helenebeautyblog.blogspot.com]
[…] difference being that the pain radiates to the arms and shoulders in the latter. [ edit ] Cause While the true causes of Tietze's Syndrome are not well understood, it often results from a physical strain or minor injury, such as repeated coughing, sneezing, vomiting [orthohyd.com]
- Abdominal Pain
Most cases of abdominal pain during exercise are referred to as a 'stitch' or side stitch. It is also known as an 'exercise-related transient abdominal pain' or ETAP. [sportsinjuryclinic.net]

- Chest Pain
Generally chest pain due to cardiac causes is not associated with any redness, swelling, or pain to the touch; so occasionally presence of these symptoms is sufficient to decrease the suspicion of cardiac chest pain. [zocdoc.com]
Costochondritis (with unknown cause) is a common cause of chest pain in children and adolescents. It accounts for 10-30% of all chest pain in children. Annually, doctors evaluate about 650,000 cases of chest pain in young people 10-21 years of age. [jenlynn401.wordpress.com]

- Heart Disease
Chest pain in adults is considered a potentially serious sign of a heart problem by most doctors until proven otherwise. Chest pain in adults usually leads to a battery of tests to rule out heart disease. [jenlynn401.wordpress.com]
The pain can be similar to coronary heart disease, pneumonia or fibromyalgia. Sometimes the pain may spread to affect the neck, arms and shoulders. Redness (erythema) and warmth of the affected area may also be present. [theglutenfreechefblog.com]

Workup
Evaluation Tietze syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion after a thorough workup of life-threatening or more common diseases has been completed. An electrocardiogram (ECG) should be performed on all patients that present with acute chest pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
The standard treatment for Tietze’s syndrome is rest. However, Tietze’s syndrome can become a chronic condition lasting years, and rest is not always possible. More and more treatments are becoming available for sufferers. [scienceblog.com]
Tietze Syndrome Treatment Many experts agree that a full treatment of the syndrome Tietze is only possible with the help of surgery. [noillen.bitballoon.com]
A 2018 study notes that with standard treatment, the symptoms of TS last an average of 1–2 weeks. People who experience severe or relapsing-remitting symptoms may require long-term treatment. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Practical, clinically relevant material facilitates the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal, pain, and chronic disabling conditions. [books.google.com]

Treatment and prognosis It is a benign condition that may subside spontaneously. Some authors suggest local steroid injection as a possible treatment option 6. [radiopaedia.org]
Tietze syndrome is a self-limiting disease with a good prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
What is the prognosis for costochondritis and Tietze syndrome? The outlook for costochondritis and Tietze syndrome is generally very good. Most patients respond well to conservative treatments. [medicinenet.com]
Etiology
Etiology The syndrome is due to a missense mutation or in-frame deletion of one amino acid in the basic domain of the MITF (3p14-p13) gene, coding a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) leucine zipper transcription factor, regulating melanocyte development and [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology
It does not appear to be an inflammatory disorder, and although the pathophysiology is unkown, could result from injury to costosternal, sternoclavicular, or costochondral articulations from severe or protracted coughing. [link.springer.com]
Although the pathophysiology of Tietze Syndrome is poorly understood, it was previously thought to be associated with a viral infection aquired during cardio-thoracic surgery. [emergencymedicalparamedic.com]
Pathophysiology Costochondritis is an inflammatory process of the costochondral or costosternal joints that causes localized pain and tenderness. Any of the 7 costochondral junctions may be affected, and more than 1 site is affected in 90% of cases. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Rarely are those at the far ends of the age spectrum affected, but cases have been reported.[3][4][5] Pathophysiology Tietze syndrome is described as a localized, painful, swollen, non-pustular mass commonly without rubor or erythema. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Is it possible to prevent costochondritis and Tietze syndrome? Costochondritis and Tietze syndrome cannot be prevented. Although aggravating the symptoms can be minimized by avoiding injury to the chest wall. [medicinenet.com]
Develop a thorough, clinically relevant understanding of interventions such as physical agents and therapeutic exercise in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders that produce pain, impairment, and disability. [books.google.com]
Prevention Because inflammatory costochondritis has no definite cause, there is no good way to prevent it. Outlook Noninfectious costochondritis will go away on its own, with or without antiinflammatory treatment. Most people will recover fully. [jenlynn401.wordpress.com]
Prevention This can be attained through avoiding the precipitating factors of the disease process. Stress should be lessened as well as injury to the chest area. The condition as mentioned above can only last for a few weeks. [syndrome.org]
