Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a condition characterized by a defect in the diaphragm leading to protrusion of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity. Right side diaphragmatic hernia is a rare entity. The surgical incidence remains controversial, particularly for the choice of the surgical approach and technique. The mortality is mainly related to associated injuries.
We report a case of right side diaphragmatic hernia in an 84-year-old man who presented with respiratory distress.
This case highlights rarity of the case and the diagnostic difficulties.
