| dc.description.abstract | The patient was a 54 year old male Nigerian from Plateau State. He was a hypertensive on Moduratic when consulted BNO in January 2010 for forgetfulness and blood pressure control. Physical examination was negative but for severe hypertension of 230/140 mmHg in the supine position. Chilaiditi sign was noticed on chest X-Ray requested as part of cardiovascular evaluation. We are reporting this as a rarity which has not been previously documented from Nigeria. In medical literature to the best of our knowledge.
