"It is named after Demetrius Chilaiditi (1883-1975) 4, Greek radiologist who described the radiographic findings in 1910 3 whilst working in Vienna, Austria. Although the first description of the interposition of colon between the liver and the right hemidiaphragm was published by Cantini in 1865 4."
"Chilaiditi syndrome is the anterior interposition of the colon to the liver reaching the undersurface of the right hemidiaphragm with associated upper abdominal pain; it is one of the causes of pseudopneumoperitoneum."
"Patients with Chilaiditi syndrome generally present with abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, constipation or changes in bowel habits. As the degree of colonic interposition increases patients may develop respiratory distress 5. Symptoms are generally worse at night when laying supine 5."
