Chilaiditi Syndrome. Doctor Is Not Sure On How To Proceed. Consuming Pain Killers. Treatments?

Hello, I ended up in the ER in extreme pain and was found to have Chilaiditi Syndrome. I live in Eureka, California and have been to my doctor and now a surgeon. They don t know what to do. I have pain to the point of needing pain pills a few times a week. What should I do? I do not want to live with this looming over my head; the pain was tremendous! Thank you!

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Chilaiditi's syndrome can cause a variety of symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and small bowel obstruction. The specific symptoms and presentation of Chilaiditi's syndrome can vary greatly from one person to another.

In recent years, surgical intervention has been increasingly used in order to manage symptoms of chronic, intermittent abdominal pain. The appropriate surgical approach depends on the nature of the interposed segment of the colon.

Your doctors need to weigh the risks and benefits associated with surgery and proceed.

Hope this helps
