Abstract :Chilaiditi syndrome was first described in 1910(1). In short , it can be defined as hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the large or small intestines(1). This syndrome is a very rare condition in the society(2). While some patients have no symptoms, some patients may present with severe abdominal pain, constipation, and ileus . In this case report, we wanted to describe a patient who had recurrent episodes of abdominal pain but was not diagnosed . We wanted to remind that chilaiditi syndrome should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of patients who come to the emergency service with abdominal pain .
