Summary

Chilaiditi syndrome, where the bowel is between the liver and diaphragm, can occur asymptomatically in adults. This condition may affect liver and gallbladder ultrasound imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Chilaiditi syndrome is a rare anatomical condition.
  • It involves the abnormal positioning of the colon or small intestine between the liver and the diaphragm.
  • This condition is often asymptomatic in adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present four cases of asymptomatic Chilaiditi syndrome in adults.
  • To discuss the potential impact of this syndrome on diagnostic imaging, specifically ultrasound of the liver and gallbladder.

Main Methods:

  • Case series presentation.
  • Review of clinical findings and imaging characteristics.
  • Discussion of radiological implications.

Main Results:

  • Four adult patients with asymptomatic Chilaiditi syndrome were identified.
  • The anatomical variation did not lead to symptoms in these cases.
  • Potential for misinterpretation or artifacts in ultrasound examinations was noted.

Conclusions:

  • Asymptomatic Chilaiditi syndrome is a recognized entity in adults.
  • Radiologists and clinicians should be aware of this condition to avoid diagnostic errors.
  • Understanding this anatomical variation is crucial for accurate interpretation of abdominal ultrasound studies.
