Abstract

Chilaiditi's sign is a radiographic term used when the hepatic flexure of colon is seen interposed between the liver and right hemidiaphragm. Mostly asymptomatic, Chilaiditi's syndrome can present with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, abdominal distension, tender hepatomegaly and change in bowel habits. Uncommon in childhood, the incidence seems to increase with age. We have experienced a case of Chilaiditi's syndrome presenting with vomiting in a 15-month-old boy. The patient recovered uneventfully.

저자들은 지속적인 구토를 동반한 1세 3개월된 남아에서 단순 촬영과 소장 대장 조영술에서 Chilaiditi's syndrome을 보이는 환아에서 수액요법과 대증요법으로 호전된 예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
