    Abstract:
    Chilaïditi's syndrome is the association of a radiological and clinical semiology of the interposition of large colon or small intestine between the lower side of diaphragm and liver. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman, primigravida, who undergone a caesarean section at 39 weeks of amenorrhoea, for a clinical picture of persistent abdominal pain and a beginning hepatic cytolysis. The patient presented one day after the ceasarean section an occlusive syndrome of the small intestine. The etiology of the occlusion of the small intestine in post-partum was a Chilaïditi's syndrome with inter hepatodiaphragmatic incarceration of the small intestine discovered at the computed tomography. An exploratory laparotomy confirmed and permitted to treat Chilaïditi's syndrome complicated by an occlusion.
