Abstract

Chilaiditi sign is the presence of gas image between liver and diaphragm in plain radiographs as th hepato-diaphragmatic interposition of the colon. The specific symptoms and presentation of Chilaiditi’s syndrome can vary greatly from one person to another. Although this syndrome is frequently asymptomatic, gastrointestinal system symptoms are prominent in symptomatic patients. The disease is a benign constellation and rareyl, serious complications such as volvulus, intestinal adhesions and obstruction may develop in the clinical course. The general approach in the treatment of patients diagnosed is conservative. In this article, we present a case of Chilaiditi syndrome who presented with anemia symptoms and was diagnosed incidentally.

Özet

Chilaiditi sendromu düz plan radyografilerde kolonun hepatodiyaframatik interpozisyonu kaynaklı, karaciğer ve diyafram arasındaki gaz görüntüsü ile karakterize bir hastalıktır. Chilaiditi sendromunun spesifik semptomları ve prezentasyonu kişiden kişiye büyük ölçüde değişebilmektedir. Bu sendrom sıklıkla asemptomatik olmakla beraber semptomatik hastalarda gastrointestinal sistem yakınmaları ön plana çıkar. Hastalık selim seyreden bir durum olup klinik seyirde nadiren de olsa volvulus, intestinal yapışıklıklar ve obstruksiyon gibi ciddi komplikasyonlar gelişebilir. Tanı konulan hastalarda tedavideki genel yaklaşım konservatif tedavidir. Burada anemi semptomları ile başvuran ve rastlantısal olarak tanı konulan Chilaiditi sendromlu bir olgu sunuldu.
