Chilaiditi sign is mostly an incidental finding on chest x-ray or abdominal computed tomography. There are reports that between 1.18% to 2.40% of cases were demonstrated with abdominal CT, and between 0.025% and 0.280% were found on the plain chest and abdominal films. These findings can present temporarily or permanently. Some of the biggest challenges the rare disease community faces are finding reliable resources and support. Whether you're a patient or caregiver, GARD aims to help you find the information you may need to navigate life with a rare disease. This includes resources on financial support, tools to help you communicate with your provider, and more. DISCUSSION: Chilaiditi syndrome is a rare condition involving the transposition of the bowel between the liver and right hemidiaphragm. It was first described by a Viennese radiologist, Demetrius Chilaiditi, in 1910. While the true incidence is unknown, it is estimated to have a prevalence between 0.025% and 0.28% of the general population, with a 4:1 male predominance. Chilaiditi's syndrome can cause a variety of symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and small bowel obstruction. The specific symptoms and presentation of Chilaiditi's syndrome can vary greatly from one person to another. The cause of Chilaiditi's syndrome is not fully understood.

Chilaiditi's sign is the presence of radiolucency in the subdiaphragmatic space as a result of colonic interposition, often misdiagnosed as a pneumoperitoneum. It is caused by anatomical variations that result in transpositioning of bowel within the subdiaphragmatic space.
