Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Costochondritis is a painfull chronical inflammation of the cartilago of one or more costae at
the transition between sternum and costae.[1][2][3] Only when a swelling occurs underneath sternum and/or a reddening of the skin at the painfull spot, it's called Tietze's syndrome[4][5][6][7]. This disease causes severe pain when coughing and deep breathing. The Tietze's syndrome is not life-threatening or contagious but it is a fastidious and painfull disease.[4][3] CostochondritisCite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name and the Tietze's syndrome are often confused but in fact they are two different diseases.
