Keywords:
Bochdalek hernia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia in adults
Abstract
Bochdalek hernia (BH) is a type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia which commonly presents in childhood
and is extremely rare in adults. Most of cases in adults are asymptomatic and can lead to fatal complications
if not diagnosed early. Here we present a rare case of Bochdalek hernia in an elderly female patient.
Congenital Bochdalek hernia presenting at such an advanced age is not reported in literature so far.
