The hypochondrium is the upper part of the abdomen interior to the lowest ribs of the thorax.^[1] The word derives from Greek: ὑποχονδρος: hupochondros, meaning abdomen, or literally under cartilage.

The liver is found in the right hypochondrium.

Controversies

Some sources have disputed usage of the term to the parts of the anterior abdominal wall below the costal margins. The region named the right hypochondrium exists anatomically, but is almost totally under the chest wall. In clinical situations, the part of the abdominal wall just below the right and left costal margins are referred to as the right and left hypochondriac regions respectively. Clinically speaking, symptoms and signs arising from this region are of great importance and have a specific list of diseases in their differential diagnoses.^[2]

A novel method of post-pyloric feeding tube placement at bedside.

Kohata H1, Okuda N, Nakataki E, Itagaki T, Onodera M, Imanaka H, Nishimura M.Author information 1Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, The University of Tokushima Graduate School, 3-18-15 Kuramoto, Tokushima 770-8503, Japan.AbstractPURPOSE: Post-pyloric feeding tube placement is often difficult, and special equipment or peristalsis agents are used to aid insertion. Although several reports have described blind techniques for post-pyloric feeding-tube placement, no general consensus about method preference has been achieved.

Since then it met the interest not only of psychopathologists but also of philosophers. With a few exceptions, the literature is mainly restricted to case reports of anxious-depressive, demented or paranoid patients. It was the aim of our study to investigate the prevalence and the psychopathological context of the CS.

[Hypochondriac symptoms in late-onset depression: the relationship between hypochondria and somatic state of patients].

Ivanets NN1, Avdeeva TI, Kinkul'kina MA.Author information 1Kafedra psikhiatrii i narkologii GBOU VPO Pervogo Moskovskogo gosudarstvennogo meditsinskogo universiteta im. I.M. Sechenova, Moskva.AbstractAuthors studied 276 women with late-onset depression. Concomitant chronic somatic diseases were identified in 90%. The presence of disease and its nosological definition did not impact on the development of hypochondriac symptoms in patients with late-onset depression. Patients with hypochondriac late-onset depression more often had disability pension due to somatic disease because they more often referred to internists in case of similar objective severity of somatic pathology. It was singled out three variants of the relationship between hypochondria and somatic state: hypernosognostic (a complete coincidence of hypochondria content with actual somatic pathology; anosognostic (a lack of coincidence) and disharmonic (a partial coincidence). The themes of hypochondria in late-nset depressions were correlated with a total number of somatic diseases and their severity. At the same time, there was no correlation between the content of hypochondria and the character of somatic disease.

症例は64歳女性．単純性肝嚢胞の増大のため経皮的ドレナージを施行したが，多量の胆汁流出が持続した．塩酸ミノサイクリン注入を行うが効果なく，手術も考慮した．ERCPにより肝内胆管と嚢胞の交通を認め，ENBD施行にて経皮ドレーンからの胆汁流出は著明に減少した．続いて前回同様にミノサイクリン注入を行い，嚢胞は縮小し治癒しえた．本法は胆管交通性肝嚢胞に対して手術前に考慮すべき有効な治療法と考えられる．
