Azar Hussain

This case report summarizes an unusual case of Slipping Rib Syndrome. A 39-year-old athletic female patient presented with symptoms of ongoing
chest and abdominal pain over the last five years. Diagnosis was delayed due to the unusual nature of the condition. She was eventually diagnosed
with Slipping Rib Syndrome with the aid of a CT scan as a diagnosis of exclusion and was finally treated with surgical resection of the rib.
