Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a condition that occurs during fetal development where the abdominal viscera herniates through a defect in the diaphragm. CDH manifests on either the right or left side of the diaphragm, but more often on the left side. With advancement in sonographic imaging, this condition can be diagnosed as early as the first trimester. Knowledge of the sonographic appearance and any differential diagnosis of CDH will allow sonographers to document this condition. This permits for diagnosis and early intervention for the fetus. A case report is reviewed of a right-sided CDH with the gallbladder, liver, and bowel present in the thoracic cavity.
