Chilaiditi syndrome in pediatric patients - Symptomatic hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of colon: A case report and review of literature

Figure 1 Imaging of abdomen and pelvis of a 12-year-old male with Chilaiditi syndrome and constipation. A: Computerize tomography. Marked air and fecal retention of the entire colon with colonic interposition above the liver with displacement of the liver leftwardly. This phenomenon indicates segmental agenesis of the right lobe of the liver and relaxation of the hepatic suspensory ligament; B: Plain X-ray. Markedly greater than average amount of fecal material particularly in the rectosigmoid colon. Few air fluid levels in the distal small bowel and air filled colonic loops that reach the right hemidiaphragm.
