Chilaiditi’s sign-which is an extremely rare radiographic sign is an incidental radiographic finding of interposition of a colon segment between the liver and the diaphragm. Chilaiditi sign can be initially misdiagnosed as a diaphragmatic hernia or pneumoperitoneum that can need unnecessary surgeries.We report a patient with type-2 diabetes mellitus, who was incidentally diagnosed with Chilaiditi’s sign in order to attract attention to this extremely rare occasion and avoid unnecessary surgery.

1) Abdominal CT and abdominal usg revealed hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the colon between the anterior of liver and diaphragm.(fig.2) The patient was conservatively treated with bed rest, intravenous fluid therapy, intensive insulin therapy, enemas dietary recommendations, and laxatives.

Discussion
The phenomenon of interposition of the intestine between the liver and the diaphragm was first described by Cantini in 1865.In 1899, Béclère presented the necropsy and roentgenological findings in a patient thought to have a subdiaphragmatic abscess.Chilaiditi was an Ottoman subject of Greek origin who one of the first members of the Turkish Radiological Society.In his work, published in 1910, Chilaiditi reported anatomoradiographic aspects of 3 asymptomatic cases of the appearance of subdiaphragmatic air on plain radiography because of temporary hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the colon. Since then, this condition has been associated with Chilaiditi's name.2 Chilaiditi sign is found incidentally in
