Abstract
Intercostal nerve entrapment is rarely considered as a cause of chest wall pain, even though the pain is usually dermatomal in nature and therefore should be readily apparent. A history of chest wall injury (trauma, surgery, or infection) should alert the clinician to the possibility of intercostal neuralgia.
