Chilaiditi syndrome is a rare condition when pain occurs due to transposition of a loop of large intestine in between the diaphragm and the liver, visible on plain abdominal X-ray or chest X-ray. Normally this causes no symptoms, and this is called Chilaiditi's sign. The sign can be permanently present, or sporadically. This anatomical variant is sometimes mistaken for the more serious condition of having air under the diaphragm which is usually an indication of bowel perforation.

  • Chilaiditi syndrome is a rare condition when pain occurs due to transposition of a loop of large intestine in between the diaphragm and the liver, visible on plain abdominal X-ray or chest X-ray. Normally this causes no symptoms, and this is called Chilaiditi's sign. The sign can be permanently present, or sporadically. This anatomical variant is sometimes mistaken for the more serious condition of having air under the diaphragm which is usually an indication of bowel perforation. This may lead to unnecessary surgical interventions. Chilaiditi syndrome refers only to complications in the presence of Chilaiditi's sign. These include abdominal pain, torsion of the bowel or shortness of breath.
  • Das Chilaiditisyndrom oder Chilaiditi-Syndrom beschreibt in der Medizin eine Verlagerung und Drehung von Dick- und seltener Dünndarmanteilen von weiter fußwärts nach kopfwärts zwischen Zwerchfell und Leber. Normalerweise findet sich in diesem Bereich kein Darm. Das Syndrom ist eine anatomische Variante und nicht notwendigerweise von Krankheitswert.
