“…12 These patients usually present with difficulty in breathing or pneumonia like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms and end up being diagnosed with CDH. 13 CDH should be included in the differential diagnosis of pneumonia and other respiratory or gastrointestinal diseases. 14,15 A definite diagnosis can be made by CT alone because of its characteristic features.…”

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias (CDH) is a rare entity with incidence of 1:3000 live births. Late presentation is unusual and in most cases is diagnosed in adolescents or early childhood. Asymptomatic diaphragmatic hernia in the absence of trauma is very rare in adults. The finding of CDH in adults is mostly incidental. Left sided hernia i.e. Bochdalek hernia is more common. It is more commonly associated with other anomalies. The morbidity and mortality are mainly due to pulmonary hypoplasia. We report a case of CDH, posterolateral defect (Bochdalek type), with mild mediastinal shifting to right side in a young lady, who was asymptomatic throughout the life and referred to us for evaluation of incidental findings of chest X-ray abnormality who was suffering from cholelithiasis. The surgical approach for the resolution of this pathology is variable and it depends on the presence and severity of visceral complications.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2018; 36(4): 175-178

A Bochdalek hernia is a posterior congenital defect of the diaphragm, usually on the left hemidiaphragm, caused by a lack of closure of the pleuroperitoneal canal between the eighth and tenth week of foetal life during the embryonic development. It typically presents in the neonatal period with severe respiratory failure. Incidental diagnosis in an asymptomatic patient presenting in adult life is rare. We report a case of an asymptomatic eighteen year old male who was incidentally discovered to have congenital diaphragmatic hernia when he was operated for testicular torsion on an emergency basis.
