“…However, in our case, the xiphoid process-sternal angle measured even at the site with the least angle was 155° (figure 2). On the other hand, the tip of the xiphoid process (arrow in figure 1) appears to be exerting anterior pressure on the soft tissues located anteriorly, and this can also be confirmed in previous literature with CT images 3–6. The rectus abdominis muscle lies in front of the xiphoid process 2.…”

“…In xiphodynia, CT scans have reported a decreased xiphoid process-sternal angle (105–135°), while healthy individuals show an angle of 172±14° 3–6. However, in our case, the xiphoid process-sternal angle measured even at the site with the least angle was 155° (figure 2).…”

“…In prior research, many cases with decreased xiphisternal angle on CT images have been reported. Maigne et al reported three cases with angles of 105°, 120°, and 135° [6], Patel et al reported one case with an angle of 100° [14], Ono et al reported one case with an angle of 128° [7], Ishizuka et al reported one case with an angle of 133° [8], and Ismail et al reported one case with an angle of 138.4° [15]. Additionally, although not explicitly stated the angles, there are numerous reports of cases with images showing a prominently upwardly curved xiphoid process [9,1618].…”

“…It has been suggested that anterior protrusion of the xiphoid process is a risk factor for xiphodynia, and several reports suggest that using imaging tests to look at the xiphoid process from the side can help diagnose xiphodynia when it sticks out forward [6][7][8][9]. The largest study conducted to date was reported by Maigne et al, who compared the xiphisternal angle between lateral CT images of the xiphoid process in three patients diagnosed with xiphodynia and 60 healthy individuals without xiphodynia.…”

“…Patients can report symptoms such as thoracic or abdominal wall pain, throat tightness, nausea, and referred pain to arms, shoulders, back, or neck. 1 2 3 Symptoms can often be provoked by manual compression of the sternum and the xiphoid process, which also serves as a confirmation of the diagnosis. Additionally, a chest X-ray, upper abdominal ultrasound, or conventional computed tomography (CT) scan may show a displaced or protruded xiphoid process.…”
