Chilaiditi's Syndrome

A rare syndrome, Chilaiditi’s syndrome is interposition of the colon only or with the small intestine in hepatodiaphragmatic area. It may be asymptomatic, but it may also present with symptoms, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation and respiratory distress. We present a patient who was admitted with urological problems; he was incidentally diagnosed with Chilaiditi’s syndrome

Chilaiditi's Syndrome

Chilaiditi’s syndrome is a rare and often asymptomatic anomaly, typically found as an incidental radiographic sign (gas under the diaphragm) due to hepato-diaphragmatic interposition of the transverse colon. We report a case of Chilaiditi’s syndrome following colonoscopy presenting with severe abdominal pain, dyspnoea and radiograph findings similar to the presence of bowel perforation (appearance of gas under the hemidiaphragm on erect chest radiograph). Computed tomography (CT) evidence of Chilaiditi’s sign prevented unnecessary laparotomy.

Multiple Ulcers

A 73-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain and diarrhea. Computed tomography detected distension of the small intestine. A palmar erythema, multiple oral ulcers, and desquamation of the fingers appeared after hospitalization. Small-bowel endoscopic images showed multiple ulcers. We attributed this case to infection with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis based on the changes in Y. pseudotuberculosis antibody titers throughout the course of the illness. This report is valuable, as it illustrates the endoscopic characteristics of a Y. pseudotuberculosis infection with skin lesion and ileus, which may enable us to deepen the pathologic understanding of this disease.

Characteristic Imaging

Abstract Background: Bezoar bowel obstruction is a rare entity and remains difficult to detect on imaging studies. Recognition of its characteristic imaging pattern will be useful for diagnosis and management in the setting of intestinal obstruction.Case presentation: We report a 68-year-old female patient who was admitted to the hospital with signs of intestinal obstruction including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distention. She was diagnosed with phytobezoar small bowel obstruction on computed tomography (CT) imaging. The patient underwent surgery to confirm the diagnosis and subsequently recovered well.Conclusions: Bezoar is indicated by the sign of floating fat-density debris sign on CT images. It needs to be differentiated from small-bowel feces sign in intestinal obstruction.

Encapsulating Peritonitis

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a disease that is rarely encountered clinically. Preoperative diagnosis of SEP can be difficult. However, with imaging technology, such as computed tomography (CT), this condition can be diagnosed without surgery and pathological analysis. SEP is characterized by small intestine being partially or completely encased by a layer of a thick grayish-white fibrocollagenous membrane similar to a cocoon. The most common symptoms of SEP are abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. SEP often leads to intestinal obstruction. Our hospital treated three emergency patients who complained of acute or chronic abdominal pain. CT showed “cauliflower sign” in two cases. The three patients were diagnosed with SEP intraoperatively. In a female patient with ascites, the situation was extremely serious, and this condition had not been reported in detail previously. Fortunately, all patients were discharged without complications. We should pay special attention to patients with SEP who have ascites, which indicates a serious situation.

Bilioenteric Fistula

The ileus of gallstones is a rare complication of cholelithiasis which occurs in less than 1% of patients and is the cause of 1–4% of cases of obstruction of the small intestine. The pathogenesis involves the formation of a bilioenteric fistula. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) shows pneumobilia, dilated loops of small intestine, and ectopic gallstones that obstruct the intestinal lumen. In literature, enterolithotomy is the most frequently used procedure for the ileum of gallstones. Enterolithotomy plus cholecystectomy and/or fistulectomy are indicated only in selected patients. The clinical signs and symptoms depend on the site of the obstruction and usually include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The diagnostic test of choice is an abdominal CT scan.

Chilaiditi's Syndrome

<p>Chilaiditi’s sign is the asymptomatic, usually incidental radiographic finding, in which a part of the intestine is located between the liver and the diaphragm. The term Chilaiditi syndrome is referred to cases with symptomatic hepatodiaphragmatic interposition. Chilaiditi’s syndrome is usually associated with abdominal or lower thoracic symptoms. We present here the cases of two patients that were admitted with predominantly thoracic  atypical pain. During cardiac work up, it was found that there was a concurrent heart disease for which both patients were managed. Although both patients were treated for the heart disease, a full conservative treatment was implemented, having in mind that Chilaiditi’s syndrome instead of sign could be responsible for the symptoms. Patients’ course was uneventful and they are regularly followed up.  </p><p><strong> </strong></p>

Gallstone Ileus

A 77-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency department complaining of abdominal pain. Computed tomography was performed and showed aerobilila and a large 5.1 cm gallstone lodged in the small intestine. She underwent emergency surgery. Intraoperative findings noted small bowel obstruction caused by a large gallstone.
