Cervical Angina as a Cause of Non-Cardiac Chest Pain: A Case Report
2023
Overview
Cervical angina is a form of non-cardiac chest pain that originates in the cervical spine or cervical cord; it is an under-recognized and easily underdiagnosed condition. Patients with cervical angina often report delayed diagnosis. Here, we report the case of a 62-year-old woman with a history of cervical spondylosis and undiagnosed recurrent chest pain who presented with numbness in the left upper arm and was diagnosed with cervical angina. Although most cases of cervical angina involve uncommon self-limited diseases that improve with conservative treatment, timely diagnosis can reduce patient anxiety and unnecessary office visits and tests. The critical aspect of chest pain evaluation is to rule out fatal disease. Once fatal disease is ruled out, cervical angina should be considered in differential diagnosis if there is a history of cervical spine disease, if the pain radiates to the arm, if it is elicited by cervical spine range of motion or upper extremity movement, or if the chest pain lasts less than a few seconds.
