Chilaiditi syndrome or subphrenic interposition of the colon, is a rare condition with an incidence of 0.025% 0.28% in radiographs and mostly diagnosed as an incidental finding. We report the case of a 67-years-old male, heavy smoker, with history of intermittent abdominal pain, who reported cough and muco-purulent sputum without fever or dyspnea. Physical examination showed bilateral bronchial...

A 52-year-old man underwent laparoscopic resection of the sigmoid colon for recurrent sigmoid diverticulitis in another hospital. Owing to anastomotic leakage and anastomotic stenosis, several dilatations were carried out. Two months later open resection of the anastomotic stenosis was done. Three months after that, he presented to our hospital because of symptoms of subileus due to a recurrent...

An 80-year-old woman with a nasogastric tube in situ for cerebral infarction sequelae was referred for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). The abdominal computed tomography scan on admission showed that the transverse colon was interposed between the anterior abdominal wall and the stomach (●" Fig.1). The usual PEG placement posed a high riskof piercing the transverse colon. A fluoroscop...

Chilaidit's syndrome is a rare condition characterised by the interposition of the colon between the liver and the right hemidiaphragm. We present a case of 20-year-old male who reported with breathlessness and epigastric pain, and he was diagnosed radiologically to have Chilaiditi's syndrome.

A neonate who underwent arterial switch operation had his postoperative course complicated by the development of tracheo-oesophageal fistula. He underwent multiple reparative procedures, ultimately requiring the oesophagus as a patch to close the large defect in the trachea and subsequent interposition of descending colon to restore the continuity of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
