Abstract
Figure 1. Chest Computed Tomography Scan (coronal plane) Both lung fields and cardiac chambers are observed. The red arrow indicates the oval hypodense area corresponding to the air inside the loop of colon interposed between the right hemidiaphragm (hyperdense line up) and superior border of the liver (down), causing a depression of the superior border of the liver.
Source: taken with authorization from the patient’s medical record.
Figure 2. Chest Computed Tomography Scan (axial plane) The red arrow indicates the oval hypodense area corresponding to the air inside the loop of colon in the right subphrenic space, which causes a compressive effect on the anterior surface of the liver (blue arrow).
