# Left‐sided gallbladder and Chilaiditi syndrome in an infant

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of an infant with a left-sided gallbladder and Chilaiditi syndrome, a combination not previously documented.

## Contribution

The novelty is the first reported case of a left-sided gallbladder combined with Chilaiditi syndrome in an infant.

## Key findings

- An infant was found to have a left-sided gallbladder positioned on the superior surface of the left hepatic lobe.
- The infant also exhibited Chilaiditi syndrome, where bowel is interposed between the liver and diaphragm.
- This combination of anatomical anomalies has not been previously described in medical literature.

## Abstract

Congenital hepatic anomalies may be associated with important intestinal abnormalities, vascular anomalies, or may be asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. Uncommon and rare anatomic liver and biliary disorders include left‐sided gallbladder, wandering liver, malrotation of the liver, and hepato‐diaphragmatic interposition of the bowel (Chilaiditi syndrome). This report describes an infant with incidentally discovered malpositioning of the gallbladder to the superior surface of the left hepatic lobe, coupled with Chilaiditi syndrome, a configuration that has not been described in the literature. Management considerations are discussed.
