Chilaïditi syndrome corresponds to the interposition, most often asymptomatic and temporary, of the intestine between the upper surface of the liver and the right diaphragmatic dome. It is characterized by the association of radiological semiology and various digestive manifestations, acute or chronic abdominal pain, intermittent sub-occlusions, nausea, vomiting, transit disorders, and rare intestinal occlusive complications. We report through this observation a case of a patient whose chilaiditi syndrome was the mode of revelation of her scleroderma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
