Internal hernia of the transverse colon-Chilaiditi syndrome in a child.

A redundant loop of transverse colon was herniated symptomatically behind the right liver to a suprahepatic, subdiaphragmatic position in an 11-year-old girl (Chilaiditi Syndrome). Constipation from birth, partial obstruction, and recurrent severe right upper quadrant pain unresponsive to nonoperative management warranted transverse colectomy.
