Dr. Himanshu Agrawal, Dr. Shailender Maurya, Dr. Himanshu Tanwar*, Dr. Rahul Rohitaj, Dr. Nilanjana
ABSTRACT
Cough-induced rib fractures, though rare, represent an important differential diagnosis for unexplained chest pain, even in healthy individuals. These fractures typically involve ribs 5–10 due to their anatomical susceptibility and may be misdiagnosed due to non-specific symptoms. Advanced imaging, particularly CT scans, is essential for accurate diagnosis and exclusion of severe complications like pneumothorax or diaphragmatic injury. Management is usually conservative, involving rest, analgesics, and cough suppression, but surgical intervention may be required for complications. Preventive strategies, such as smoking cessation and osteoporosis management, are critical. Timely recognition and multidisciplinary care can improve outcomes and prevent serious complications.
