Popis: 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.
