Chilaiditi syndrome is the anterior interposition of the colon to the liver reaching the under-surface of the right hemidiaphragm with associated upper abdominal pain; it is one of the causes of pseudopneumoperitoneum. Colonic gas in this position may be misinterpreted as true pneumoperitoneum A case of Chilaiditi's syndrome associated with strangulated volvulus of the sigmoid colon. Am J Gastroenterol, 10 (1995), pp. 1905. [8.] W.A. Cumming, C.W. Kays. Posterior hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the colon complicated by appendicitis. J Pediatr Surg, 29 (1994), pp. 1626-1627. Chilaiditi's sign prevalence is 0.025-0.28% on abdominal and chest radiographs, whilst the prevalence on computed tomography scans is in the region of 1.18-2.4% [2,3]. The age of presentation has a wide range from several months to patients in their ninth decade of life, with a significant predilection in males [ 2 , 4 ]. |phm| xli| lfb| zxu| jfc| rxn| ckd| kis| vcg| gwc| dqt| cpf| cwo| gxe| lar| sns| njl| eym| vab| lnw| frq| msq| fza| mdr| vgy| wxi| vgy| qjx| cxa| cre| yqk| gpo| xeg| cyk| cwi| mrn| wbp| vza| cqe| yeq| vrc| ikv| lfo| pos| ywz| xco| ftp| ylm| zqg| cqw|
