Abstract

Objective: Precordial catch syndrome was described by Miller and Texidor in 1955. It deserves wider recognition because it is rarely discussed in the differential diagnosis of precordial pain. Case summary: Case characteristics include a young 8-year-old female that presented with 4th episode of chest pain to the hospital. On attempting maneuver like deep breaths slowly in lying down position, pain subsided within 5 minutes although all other modalities of chest pain investigation as electrocardiography, echocardiography, chest high-resolution computed tomography, cardiac enzymes were normal. Discussion and conclusion: Various maneuvers like lying down or sitting upright and attempting deep inspiration tends to help in such conditions. This case report is reporting an unusual presentation of this syndrome due to its long duration of episode than the duration described in the previous reports. Prognosis is good. Key words: precordial catch syndrome, sharp chest pain, sagged posture, Texidor’s twinge, case report
