Cholera01:25

Cholera

Cholera is an acute gastrointestinal disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It is transmitted primarily via the fecal-oral route through the ingestion of contaminated water or food.Vibrio cholerae is a motile, Gram-negative bacterium of the family Vibrionaceae, primarily associated with waterborne outbreaks in areas with inadequate sanitation. Although over 200 serogroups of V. cholerae exist, only O1 and O139 are responsible for epidemic cholera. The O1 serogroup,...
Cholecystitis01:20

Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, most commonly caused by obstruction of the cystic duct. This blockage prevents bile from draining, leading to gallbladder distension, inflammation, and potentially serious complications. This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...
Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
Bacterial Phylum Chlamydiae01:29

Bacterial Phylum Chlamydiae

The phylum Chlamydiae or Chlamydiota is composed of a single order, Chlamydiales. This phylum consists entirely of obligate intracellular parasites that infect eukaryotic hosts. While human pathogens within this group have been studied extensively, the phylum encompasses many species capable of interacting with various eukaryotic organisms. Members of Chlamydiae are typically small cocci, approximately 0.5 μm in diameter, and exhibit a distinctive developmental cycle. As is characteristic of...
Esophageal Achalasia01:27

Esophageal Achalasia

Esophageal achalasia is a chronic neurogenic disorder characterized by impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and absent or ineffective peristalsis in the distal esophagus. This leads to a functional obstruction without a physical blockage, despite significant disruption of esophageal motility.EtiologyAchalasia is caused by degeneration of the myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus, specifically the loss of inhibitory ganglion cells that produce vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Chilaidity syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by malposition of the bowel due to malrotation or malfixation.
  • It is more frequently observed on the right side and in individuals with obesity.
  • While often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, symptomatic cases present with significant obstructive symptoms.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of symptomatic Chilaidity syndrome in an adult male.
  • The patient presented with severe obstructive symptoms necessitating medical attention.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through radiological imaging.

Findings:

  • The syndrome involves abnormal bowel positioning, leading to potential obstruction.
  • Symptomatic presentation includes abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, distension, flatulence, constipation, and anorexia.
  • Radiological diagnosis is the primary method for identifying Chilaidity syndrome.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare diagnoses like Chilaidity syndrome in patients with obstructive gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis through radiological methods is crucial for timely management.
  • Understanding the varied presentations of Chilaidity syndrome can improve patient outcomes and surgical planning.
