Scleroderma Associated with Chilaiditi Syndrome: Case Report

Abstract

Chilaïditi syndrome corresponds to the interposition, most often asymptomatic and temporary, of the intestine between the upper surface of the liver and the right diaphragmatic dome. It is characterized by the association of radiological semiology and various digestive manifestations, acute or chronic abdominal pain, intermittent sub-occlusions, nausea, vomiting, transit disorders, and rare intestinal occlusive complications. We report through this observation a case of a patient whose chilaiditi syndrome was the mode of revelation of her scleroderma.
