“…Although the syndrome is usually considered to be a benign condition, major complications can occur, which require immediate surgical treatment, such as mesentery ischemia volvulus of the cecum, transverse colon or splenic flexure, peritonitis, subdiaphragmatic appendicitis, perforation of the cecum [3], [15][16][17][18].…”

The authors illustrate a case of a 49-year-old male patient admitted to our Emergency Department with dry persistent cough, fever, chills, vague abdominal discomfort and a recent history of dyspnoea and fatigability, symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 infection. Physical examination showed mild abdominal distension and no signs of peritoneal irritation. The patient was tested positive for COVID-19 and d-dimers were also found positive, raising a strong suspicion diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism as a complication of SARS-COV-2 infection, which required an immediate CT scan. No signs of pulmonary thromboembolism were present on the CT scan. Apart from bilateral pulmonary condensation areas having a ground glass pattern with a peripheral distribution, which are the characteristic radiologic feature of SARS-COV-2 infection, the CT scan also revealed the anterior interposition of the colon between the liver and diaphragm, this being highly suggestive for Chilaiditi Syndrome.

“…When the literature is reviewed, complications of Chiliaditi syndrome requiring urgent surgery can be listed as cecal and colonic volvulus, subphrenic appendicitis, internal hernia, and cecum perforation. [1,[12][13][14][15][16] Saber and Boros have previously reported that 26% of the patients require operative management. [11] There is no clear consensus on the best surgical approach.…”

Hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the small or large intestine is known as Chilaiditi syndrome, whichis a rare disease diagnosed incidentally. Chilaiditi syndrome is typically asymptomatic, but it can be associated with symptoms ranging from intermittent, mild abdominal pain to acute intestinal obstruction, constipation, chest pain and breathlessness. A 54-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital with a history of abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Chest X-ray revealed an elevation of the right hemidiaphragma caused by the presence of a dilated colonic loop below. The patient underwent urgent surgery with perforation as preliminary diagnosis. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy and ileocolic anastomosis because of the intestinal obstruction related to Chilaiditi's Syndrome. Due to the rarity of this syndrome and typical radiological findings, this case was aimed to be presented.
