Case Discussion
Chaladiti syndrome, or perhaps more accurately described as colonic interposition, is one cause of a pseudopneumoperitoneum. Colon is atypically located in the subdiaphragmatic space mimicking a pneumoperitoneum.
It is important to be able to distinguish between this and perforation in a surgical abdomen.
