Purpose: Our aim was to describe the radiographic features of lobar agenesis of the liver. Material and Methods: Six patients with lobar agenesis of the liver, 5 right- and one left-sided, are presented. CT was used to confirm diagnosis. Chest radiography, barium meals, and urograms were also analyzed. Results: In right-sided agenesis, the following were observed: a) hammock or U-shaped deformity of the stomach; b) colonic interposition of the diaphragm (Chilaiditi's syndrome); and c) reversal of the cranial orientation of the colonic hepatic flexure compared to the splenic flexure. The right kidney was higher in position than the left in both right- and left-sided lobar agenesis. Conclusion: Our radiographic findings can provide a multidisciplinary approach in the identification of this anatomic anomaly.

AbstractThe case of a 31 year old male presenting as an emergency with a recurrent colonic volvulus is described. A chest X-ray on admission to hospital showed the presence of hepato-diaphragmatic interposition of the colon, Chilaiditi’s Sign, which is known to be a risk factor for colonic volvulus. This is only the fourth reported case of colonic volvulus in association with Chilaiditi’s Syndrome and the first with recurrent colonic volvulus. The optimal treatment for recurrent volvulus in patients with risk factors such as Chilaiditi’s Syndrome or megacolon is also discussed.

A rare syndrome, Chilaiditi’s syndrome is interposition of the colon only or with the small intestine in hepatodiaphragmatic area. It may be asymptomatic, but it may also present with symptoms, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation and respiratory distress. We present a patient who was admitted with urological problems; he was incidentally diagnosed with Chilaiditi’s syndrome
