title: Echographic study of Tietze's syndrome.
abstract: An echographic study of Tietze's syndrome was carried out. Three patients with clinical evidence of Tietze's syndrome were examined. Ten normal volunteers were studied as controls. In Tietze's syndrome a dishomogeneous increase of the echogenicity in pathological cartilage and an increased thickness vs. the opposite normal side were observed. A moderate thickness and a decreased echogenicity of surrounding soft tissues was observed in one case.
