Abstract
|
|
|
Chilaiditi¡¯s sign refers to a condition in which the right colon or, rarely, the small intestine is interposed between the liver and the right hemidiaphragm. Recognizing this sign is important, because it may present with a variety of abdominal symptoms and may be confused with a surgical abdomen leading to unnecessary surgical intervention. Management is usually conservative unless complications such as volvulus or obstruction occur. Previous reports focused on the complications and surgical management of Chilaiditi¡¯s sign. We present a report of three cases of Chilaiditi¡¯s sign that were managed non-surgically, together with an updated review of the English literature.
