title: [Chilaiditi syndrome associated the volvulus of the transverse colon].
abstract: The hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the colon (Chilaiditi's Syndrome) and associated volvulus of the transverse colon is a rare cause of mechanical intestinal obstruction. The preoperative diagnosis is extremely difficult. We report a 26-year-old- male case, symptomatic since childhood, whose diagnosis by barium enema was confirmed surgically in Hospital Universitário de Taubaté. He underwent a transversectomy, and presented an intestinal obstruction in the post-operative period. Two reoperations were required. He has remained well, with outpatient supervision.
