Abstract:
A 50 years old patient consulted in our unity for abdominal pain, in whom a abdominal CT-scan has been performed; in which we have found the classic chilaiditi syndrome. (Figure 1) This sign was first described in 1865 by Cantini who observed it on clinical examination, but it was not until 1910, with the publication of a study reporting three cases, by Demetrius Chilaiditi, that it was consolidated as a radiological diagnosis.
