Conditions our MRI scans have found

The gallbladder was not seen on the MRI images which is consistent with a history of surgical removal of your gallbladder (cholecystectomy).

Chilaiditi sign is a rare medical condition in which a portion of the colon (large intestine) is abnormally positioned between the liver and the diaphragm (the muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdomen and serves as the main muscle for breathing).

A Killian-Jamieson diverticulum, a rare type of esophageal diverticulum that develops as a protrusion of mucosa (the membrane that lines the inside of the GI tract) through a muscular defect/weakness in the esophagus.

Diverticulosis occurs when small, bulging pouches (diverticula) develop in the colon (large intestines). Most people who have diverticulosis do not have any symptoms. When one or more of these pouches become inflamed or infected, the condition is called diverticulitis.

Sometimes because of a weakness in the esophagus (the tube that connects the throat to the stomach) and stomach connection, the stomach can slide up and down into the chest area, which is known as a hiatal hernia. This can allow stomach acid to enter the esophagus more easily, causing acid reflux and heartburn.

A gastric diverticulum is a “pouch” formed when there is a weak part in the stomach wall. This can be congenital (from birth) or acquired, usually from a past injury like a stomach ulcer.
