This patient was referred to our hospital for surgical intervention as the patient was misdiagnosed to have generalized peritonitis. However, upon our evaluation, the patient had no sign of peritonitis, and the abdominal X-ray showed features of the Chilaiditi sign complicated with small bowel obstruction. On that account, Chilaiditi syndrome was diagnosed, and the patient successfully managed non-operatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Chilaiditi syndrome is clinical features caused by hepatodiaphragmatic bowel interposition. It tends to occur in male elders and commonly involves a colon. In this case, however, a small bowel was also involved and even resulted in its obstruction, which is extremely rare. Chilaiditi syndrome has a radiologic finding that has similarities with that of a bowel perforation. As a result of these, they are commonly misinterpreted as pneumoperitoneum, and the patient can be subjected to a preventable laparotomy. Nevertheless, Chilaiditi's air under the diaphragm has distinctive radiological features, and there will not be peritonitis signs unless the entrapped bowel is strangulated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Chilaiditi syndrome is a benign condition that doesn't need a laparotomy unless it is complicated. However, it should be remembered that air under the diaphragm of a bowel perforation is surgical emergency and needs to be ruled out.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.110532","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,30]],"date-time":"2024-10-30T03:50:21Z","timestamp":1730260221000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A case report of Chilaiditi syndrome presenting with a small bowel obstruction in an elderly Ethiopian man: A potential case for a misdiagnosis"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"125","author":[{"given":"Gutu Ganati","family":"Tola","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, College of Public Health and Medical Sciences, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Birhanu Abdisa","family":"Tesso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, College of Public Health and Medical Sciences, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Merid Lemma","family":"Kebede","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, College of Public Health and Medical Sciences, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yohannes Demil","family":"Bezabih","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, College of Public Health and Medical Sciences, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"R1-55-20260423","first-page":"276","article-title":"Chilaiditi syndrome: a rare entity with important differential diagnoses","volume":"8","author":"Moaven","year":"2012","journal-title":"Gastroenterol Hepatol (N Y)"},{"issue":"2018","key":"R2-55-20260423","article-title":"Chilaiditi syndrome: a case report highlighting the intermittent nature of the disease","author":"Kapania,","year":"2018","journal-title":"Case Rep.
