description | Chilaiditi's sign and syndrome seem similar but are actually different entities, difficult to distinguish from each other. A 60-year-old female presented with a clinical scenario of intestinal obstruction, which was thought to be Chilaiditi's syndrome because of the unusual impression of gas under the diaphragm, but was confirmed as Chilaiditi's sign after laparotomy. The interposition of dilated small bowel loops below the diaphragm due to distal obstruction somewhere else can also produce a Chilaiditi's sign. |
