AbstractThe abnormality being the result of a certain transposition of the large intestine winding in between diaphragm and the liver, owes it's name to a so called Chilaiditi symptom. This symptom is rarely recognized for at most 0,025-0,28% of the whole population statistics - wise. The Chilaiditi symptom can be examined without any serious (abdominal) pain indication, when conducting the gastrointestinal examination with the implication of the different disorders. When carrying out the diagnostic examination, it is strongly recommended to take notice of patients suffering from the pain in abdominal area, especially in case of the patients with the developed air - structure under the right side copula of the diaphragm. The transposition of the large instestine winding between the diaphragm and the liver, may lead to the blood structure disorders along the part of patient's spot - pressed intestine and be the cause of the other afflictions. The circumstance as such is thus called by the name of Chilaiditi syndrome. The respective recognition of this syndrome may prevent the patient from any unnecessary assignment for a diagnostic and (or) any other therapeutic procedures in place.It may as well minimize the overall diagnostic treatment time lapse - usually concentrated on the pain relief treatment in the aftermath. The patients without examined affliction, (ex.) due to the liver disorders and the awareness of the existence of this syndrome in general, can be an indicator for taking up a decision for when it comes to the liver biopsy. This due to the risk of any perforation of the digestive tract.
