ABSTRACT
Pleurisy is an inflammation of the parietal pleura and is characterized by pleuritic pain. The most common cause of pleurisy is infection; other causes include rheumatoidarthritis, malignancy, rib fractures, or trauma. Possible causes of chest pain associated withgolf include costochondritis, stress fractures of the ribs, intercostal muscle strain, or, rarely,Tietze’s syndrome and slipping rib syndrome.Case A 64-year-old female presented with intractable chest pain that began 4 months priorwhile playing golf. No specific cause was found after various examinations. There was persistent pain despite medical treatment. Ultrasonography (US) was performed over the painful areas, which revealed focal pleural effusions. A mixture of ropivacaine and triamcinolonewas injected into the focal pleural effusions using US guidance, which dramatically relievedher pain.Conclusions:
This case demonstrates that US can be used as a diagnostic and therapeuticmodality for intractable chest pain with an undetected pathology.
