Abstract

Pneumoperitoneum is commonly associated with visceral perforations and often requires urgent surgical intervention. However, conditions such as Chilaiditi syndrome can mimic this alarming sign without actual perforation. This case report explores the coexistence of Chilaiditi syndrome and antropyloric stenosis, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and the need for accurate radiological assessment. Early differentiation between true and pseudo-pneumoperitoneum is crucial to avoid unnecessary surgeries. We also discuss the clinical management of patients presenting with overlapping gastrointestinal pathologies.
