About: Twelfth rib syndrome

An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Twelfth rib syndrome, also known as rib tip syndrome, is a painful condition that occurs as a result of highly mobile floating ribs. It commonly presents as pain that may be felt in the lower back or lower abdominal region as a result of the 11th or 12th mobile rib irritating the surrounding tissues and nervous systems. Diagnosis is often made by a physical examination after other conditions are ruled out. The condition is often labelled as slipping rib syndrome due to the unclear definitions of the conditions, with twelfth rib syndrome sometimes being referred to as a subtype of slipping rib syndrome.
