Left-sided chilaiditi: A rare case report

Chilaiditi sendromu; kalın barsağın karaciğer ve diyafram arasına girmesinin radyolojik olarak görülmesi şeklindeki ‘’Chilaiditi işareti’’ ile tanınan bir tıbbi durumdur. Burada, benzer interpozisyonun sağda değil de solda olduğu bir vakayı naklediyoruz. Dalağın arka ve üzerine konumlanan kalın barsağın splenik köşesine, yapısal olarak normal olan dalağın basısı sonucunda kronik kabızlık gelişmiştir. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla bu; solda oluşan, Chilaiditi benzeri kolonik interpozisyonun; literatürde bildirilen nadir örneklerindendir.

Solda chilaiditi: Nadir bir vaka sunumu

Chilaiditi’s syndrome refers to a medical condition in which Chilaiditi’s sign is present - a radiological observation of a colonic interposition between the liver and the diaphragm. The syndrome is associated with other clinical symptoms. Here we report a case that is similar to Chilaid- iti’s syndromme but appeared on the left side. The splenic flexure was compressed by a normal spleen due to the malposition of the colon, located above and behind the spleen, which caused chronic constipa- tion. To our knowledge, this is one of a few case reports of a left-sided, Chialiditi-like, colonic interposition syndrome reported in the literature.
