SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Although pseudoangina is most commonly caused by cervical disc herniation, several cases have been described where thoracic herniation produced symptoms of pseudoangina. If thoracic herniation can produce angina-like pain, then it is important to consider whether pathology of the thoracolumbar spine, in general, can trigger false pain syndromes distinct from pseudoangina.
OBJECTIVE: We seek to provide the most comprehensive study regarding the diagnosis and treatment of spinal conditions causing false pain syndromes.
STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review of the current literature using PRISMA 2020 recommendations.
METHODS: We queried the literature and systematically selected relevant studies according to PRISMA guidelines.
RESULTS: Across 22 selected studies, the sample size was 30 patients, and a total of 26 met the criteria for statistical analysis. Seven (26.9%) of these patients presented with a chief complaint of pseudoangina resulting from thoracic disc herniation. 73.1% (19/26) of patients exhibited pain mimicking visceral origin. Overall, 13/19 (68.4%) patients exhibited thoracic spine disease only and 4/19 (21.1%) patients were affected at lumbar levels only, while 2 (10.5%) patients exhibited thoracolumbar herniation. Presentations included abdominal pain (11/19) mimicking appendicitis or pancreatitis, flank pain mimicking renal colic (8/19), and 2 cases of scrotal pain/orchalgia. Symptom durations ranged from acute (<24 h) to 7 years. Treatments were reported for 18/19 patients and all treated patients reported alleviated pain. Seven out of 18 patients were managed conservatively while 11/18 were treated surgically. Misdiagnosis resulted in unnecessary surgery (pancreaticojejunostomy) or other invasive procedures.
CONCLUSIONS: In spinal disorders manifesting with atypical pain syndromes, delay in proper diagnosis and unnecessary treatments can, unfortunately, cause prolonged patient suffering and increased cost of health care. As a result, some have proposed that spinal screening should be incorporated into clinical examinations involving false pain syndromes.
