ABSTRACT. Colopexy was accomplished in eight healthy mixed-breed dogs by use of a 3-portal laparoscopic technique without major intraoperative and postoperative complications. A permanent adhesion between the colon and the abdominal wall was observed. Concentrations of acute-phase C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in serum as a marker of systemic inflammation postoperatively, and no relevant increase in CRP concentrations was found.

“…Intraperitoneal adhesion, which is caused by widespread tumor metastasis or previous surgery is also one of the factors (6). In addition, psychotropic medication (15) and iatrogenic factors (16), such as endoscopic procedures, have been reported as causative factors. In the present case, the patient exhibited a childhood-onset symptom, therefore, interposition of the colon was more likely due to a congenital anatomical anomaly.…”

Colonic interposition between the liver and left diaphragm - management of Chilaiditi syndrome: A case report and literature review

et al. 2014

Chilaiditi syndrome refers to a medical condition that is indicated by the presence of Chilaiditi sign, the radiological observation of a colonic interposition between the liver and the diaphragm, and is associated with other clinical symptoms. Chilaiditi syndrome is a rare entity and therefore, is often misdiagnosed in clinical practice, however, it may be accompanied by a series of severe complications, such as bowel obstruction and perforation. The current study describes a 47-year-old male who presented with repeated abdominal pain and acute intestinal obstruction. The patient was diagnosed with Chilaiditi syndrome via radiological observation and was cured by conservative treatment. The clinical data of seven additional patients with Chilaiditi syndrome, which was reported in the Chinese literature between January 1990 and January 2013, were also collected. The pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome have been reviewed and analyzed. The current study may be useful to familiarize clinical practitioners with Chilaiditi syndrome, in order to avoid a misdiagnosis during clinical treatment.

“…Conservative treatment, however, does not always eliminate symptoms ; they may recur or complications may develop, which require large‐scale surgical intervention . Technical advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques have occurred rapidly, and there is mounting literature in which surgical intervention is recommended for patients with recurring or persistent pain, as well as to avoid possible life‐threatening complications and resultant large‐scale operations . In such cases, laparoscopic colopexy can be performed.…”

Death Caused by Hepatodiaphragmatic Interposition of the Colon

Hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the colon is a rare, usually asymptomatic, anomaly and is typically an incidental radiologic finding. There are few cases in the literature describing the symptomatic form of the condition, known as Chilaiditi syndrome. In some cases, it may be accompanied by various severe complications. If symptoms are present, usually conservative treatment is given. However, conservative treatment only addresses the symptoms but does not prevent their recurrence and possible complications. Our present report shows that this anomaly may not only cause symptoms, but may also progress and cause severe complications, in our case-megacolon leading to right heart failure and, ultimately, death. To date, however, there have been no literature reports of death caused by colonic interposition. Therefore, it is important to draw attention to the importance of this anomaly and its appropriate diagnosis and treatment to ensure the most favorable patient outcomes.
