dc.description.abstractChilaiditi syndrome is interposition of the intestine between liver and diaphragm. It is often asymptomatic but there were cases presented as acute pain in the abdomen, needing corrective surgical procedure; or as mistaken renal colic, or as suspected subphrenic abscess, or as pneumoperitonium. The interposition of proximal transverse colon was found to be more common than the small intestine. Chilaiditi syndrome was associated with colonic volvulus. The colonic interposition then progressed from mild abdominal discomfort to intermittent bowel obstruction. Some patients needed surgical operation like hepatic extraperitonealization, after replacement of the dislocated gastroenteric tract, bringing the superior surface of the liver again into direct contact with the related diaphragmatic dome. A rare case of Chilaiditi syndrome incidentally associated with hypertension and ischaemic heart disease, in a male aged 50 years is reported.en_US
