Differential Diagnosis

• The initial differential diagnosis of chest pain must include all the serious and potentially life-threatening diseases, such as acute coronary syndromes, aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, and pneumothorax.
• The differential diagnosis of musculoskeletal causes of chest pain is broad. It includes, primarily, inammatory musculoskeletal pain syndromes such as costochondritis (and others as below), and rheumatic musculoskeletal syndromes such as bromyal­gia, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriatic arthritis.
• Primary (inammatory) musculoskeletal chest pain syndromes include:
• Costochondritis. Costochondritis typically affects those over age 40, and usu-
ally involves pain to palpation over the costochondral junctions of the third, fourth, and fth ribs. Costochondritis is diagnosed more often in women.
• Tietze’s Syndrome. In Tietze’s syndrome there is painful swelling of usually
one (but sometimes several), costochondral joints. It usually involves either the second or third costochondral junctions. There must be obvious physical signs of inammation, such as erythema, swelling, and warmth over the affected joint, for the diagnosis to be considered. It is a rare disorder of unknown etiol­ogy. Tietze’s syndrome is more common in those under 40, and affects both sexes equally.

• Xiphodynia/xiphalgia. Sharp, pleuritic chest pain that is reproduced by
light palpation of the xyphoid process.
• Precordial catch syndrome (sometimes called texidor twinge). Fleeting
(lasting seconds to minutes), lancinating episodes of chest pain, often pre­cipitated by deep inspiration.
• Slipped rib syndrome. Pain and often a feeling of fullness usually along the
inferior margin of the anterior tenth rib. There is often point tenderness and reproduction of the symptoms with pressure. Thought to be secondary to hypermobility of the distal costal cartilage that occurs after lifting or twist­ing. More commonly diagnosed in women.
• Sternalis syndrome. Localized tenderness over the sternum thought sec-
ondary to inammation of the overlying sternalis muscle. Rare, more com­mon in women, and often causes bilateral pain, especially with palpation.
• Sternoclavicular subluxation. Another rare diagnosis, marked by spontane-
ous or traumatic subluxation of a sternoclavicular joint. More commonly noted on the side of the dominant hand, and worsens with pulling and lift­ing motions. Mostly seen in women 40– 60 years old, and associated with moderately heavy repetitive tasks.

Pathophysiology andEtiology
• The pathophysiology of costochondritis is felt to primarily involve inamma­tion of the costochondral junctions. The inammation may be spontaneous and idiopathic, or may be related to injuries cause by trauma or overuse.

Presentation

Typical/“Classic”

• Chest pain that that is highly localized, and consistently reproducible by light palpation over a small area.
• Usually described as sharp and pleuritic, and often worsens when changing positions, coughing, and sneezing.
• Onset can be sudden, but is more often gradual and insidious.
314
C. J. Rees et al.

Atypical

• May present as dull, diffuse pain that is poorly localized.

Primary Differential Considerations

• Initial consideration to patients presenting with these symptoms should be given to the following differential diagnoses:
• Acute coronary syndrome
• Pulmonary embolism
• Pericarditis
• Pleurisy
• GERD
• Herpes zoster (shingles)
History andPhysical Exam
Findings That Conrm Diagnosis
• It must be stressed that all the life-threatening causes of chest pain must always be considered in patients presenting with a complaint of chest pain.
• It must also be stressed that reproducibility and chest wall tenderness are not sensitive or specic signs, and they can also occur with acute coronary syndromes.
• The diagnosis can usually be conrmed, after more serious causes of have chest pain have been excluded (either by history and physical or testing), when there is a discrete area of tenderness in which the pain is consistently reproduced by light palpation.

Factors That Suggest Diagnosis

• Chest pain that is sharp, localized, and consistently reproducible by light palpation.

Factors That Exclude Diagnosis

• Chest wall pain syndromes can coexist with many other causes of chest pain, and as such can only be excluded when there is no complaint of chest pain.
20 Costochondritis

Ancillary Studies

Laboratory

• Laboratory studies are inly useful in excluding other diagnoses. There are no laboratory studies that help in the diagnosis of costochondritis or other chest wall pain syndromes.

Imaging

• Imaging studies are only helpful in the exclusion of other diagnoses.

Special Populations

Age
• Costochondritis is more common above the age of 40, but can be diagnosed in any adult age group.
• Costochondritis can affect children as well as adults.
• In some studies of musculoskeletal chest pain in children, costochondritis accounted for nearly 15 percent of nal diagnoses.
315

Co-morbidities

• Costrochondritis can coexist with any other diagnosis. There are no co­morbidities of signicance.
Pitfalls inDiagnosis
Critical Steps Not toMiss
• It is critically important to rst consider the life-threatening causes of chest pain.

Mimics

• Costochondritis can present similarly to other, more serious causes of chest pain, such as pulmonary embolism and acute coronary syndrome.
316
C. J. Rees et al.

Time-Dependent Interventions

• There are no time-dependent interventions.
Overall Principles ofTreatment
• Costochondritis and the other musculoskeletal chest pain syndromes are usu­ally self-limited conditions.
• Treatment is usually conservative, and starts with reassurance that no more serious condition exists.
• Treatment is usually with simple analgesics such as acetaminophen. If acet­aminophen is unsuccessful, a trial of NSAIDs may be appropriate.
• In situations where the precipitating event is felt to be trauma or overuse, a short period of rest may be helpful.
• In situations where the pain is well localized, a trial of capsaicin cream, NSAID creams or patches, or lidocaine patches may be helpful.
• In resistant cases, it may be necessary to refer to a pain center for local injec­tions of a glucocorticoid/local anesthetic mixture.

Disease Course

• The course of costochondritis and the other chest wall pain syndromes is gen­erally benign and self-limited and will resolve spontaneously within 2–3 weeks or a month.

• Meningitis and encephalitis
• Hemlock poisoning
• Pulmonary embolism
• Cardiogenic shock
• Ischemic stroke
• Carbon monoxide toxicity
• Hydrogen sulde toxicity
• Iron toxicity
• Isoniazid toxicity
• Nonsteroidal anti-inammatory drug toxicity

Pathophysiology andEtiology
• Mitochondrial toxicity by binding cyanide to ferric ion (Fe3+). Oxidative phosphorylation ceases, leading to anaerobic metabolism.
• Rapidly absorbed through gastrointestinal tract and skin
• Rapidly lethal
• Exposure may be
• From smoke inhalation/re
• Formed when structures containing both carbon and nitrogen (such as polyurethane) burn
• Industrial
• From metal extraction, electroplating
• Medical
• Use of some antineoplastic agents (such as amygdalin) and other infu­sions (such as nitroprusside) may result in accumulation of toxic levels of cyanide.
• Diet
• Fruit pits and bitter almond contain cyanogenic glycosides
• Tobacco abuse
• At baseline, chronic smokers have signicantly higher blood levels of cyanide than nonsmokers
21 Cyanide Poisoning

Presentation

Typical/“Classic”

• Symptoms depend on severity and route of poisoning.
• Central nervous system symptoms, including headache, anxiety, confusion, vertigo, coma, and seizures, are most prominent.
• Also prominent are cardiovascular symptoms, including tachycardia, hypertension then bradycardia and hypotension, atrioventricular block, and ventricular dysrhythmias.
• Skin and lip ushing also may be seen.

Atypical

• Lower-level exposure may delay the onset of the aforementioned signs and symptoms.
• Nausea and vomiting
• Muscular twitching

Primary Differential Considerations

321
• Because of the wide range of signs and symptoms, the differential is quite large and includes exposure to tricyclic antidepressants, organophosphates, methemoglobin, strychnine, carbon monoxide, or arsine.
History andPhysical Exam
Findings That Conrm Diagnosis
• There is no clinical conrmation of cyanide toxicity. This is a laboratory diag­nosis in a challenging clinical setting in which early testing of arterial blood gas and lactate levels is important.

Factors That Suggest Diagnosis

• Bright red venous blood
• Despite hypotension, apnea, or bradycardia, cyanosis usually is not present.
• After hydrogen cyanide inhalation:
322
C. V. Pollack, Jr. et al.
• Bitter almond odor
• Headache, anxiety, nausea, and metallic taste
• After cyanogen chloride inhalation:
• Eye and mucous membrane irritation, bronchorrhea, cough, and dyspnea
• After dermal exposure/ingestion:
• Delayed symptoms: minutes to hours
• After parental exposure:
• Confusion and combativeness initially may be mistaken as intensive care
unit (ICU) syndrome
• After ingestion
• Nausea and vomiting
• Large quantities of such foods may result in toxicity
The starchy roots of the cassava plant (Manihot esculenta) contain cyanide. The roots are a staple in the diet of people living in the tropics, and inadequate process­ing of the roots can lead to cyanide poisoning [Lottermoser BG. Mine wastes [Internet].
