How to treat interstitial colon?

The symptoms of interpositioned colon are severe in children, and will affect appetite and hinder growth and development. At this time, you should consider radical surgical treatment. The diet should be regular, and you should not overeat. The diet should be mainly light.

1. Interpositional colon syndrome is also called Chilaiditi syndrome . In this disease, the right colon flexure is embedded between the liver and the diaphragm. The cause is not the intestine itself, but the drooping and abnormal position of the liver is the basis of this disease. This disease is often caused by developmental abnormalities such as the liver's ligaments being too long, weak, or absent, which causes the liver to move downward and the gap between the liver and the diaphragm to widen, resulting in the colon being embedded in the space. Congenital weakness of the diaphragm or diaphragm paralysis is the triggering factor of this disease. In addition, this symptom can also be seen in some patients with cirrhosis due to obvious atrophy of the right liver lobe and enlarged hepatic diaphragm space.

II. Treatment

For some patients with severe symptoms that are progressive and continuously worsening, especially those in childhood when the symptoms are severe and affect appetite and hinder growth and development, radical surgical treatment may be considered. Fixing the liver and colon has a better prognosis. Mild cases do not require treatment. Most of the symptoms can be relieved on their own by resting in bed and avoiding gas production in the esophagus. The Chinese medicine Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang can also be used for treatment.

Prognosis
