Chilaiditi sign, a rare radiographic finding of hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of hollow viscera, colon or bowel, was first described by Demetrius Chilaiditi. Diaphragmatic eventration occurs when there is a partial or entire elevation of the diaphragm due to thinned musculature of the diaphragm itself. We present a case report of a 47 year old male patient who presented to emergency department with breathlessness, fever & chest pain. This case carries a clinical significance as it could have let to a wide range of complications like bowel volvulus, obstruction & perforation.
奇莱迪蒂征是一种罕见的影像学表现，指中空脏器（结肠或肠）位于肝与膈之间，由德米特里厄斯·奇莱迪蒂首次描述。当膈肌自身肌肉变薄导致膈肌部分或全部抬高时，就会发生膈膨出。我们报告一例47岁男性患者，因呼吸困难、发热和胸痛就诊于急诊科。该病例具有临床意义，因为它可能引发一系列并发症，如肠扭转、梗阻和穿孔。
