ABSTRACT
Bochdalek hernia (BH), resulting from the failure of posterolateral diaphragmatic foramina to fuse, is the most common congenital diaphragmatic hernia and usually manifests in pediatric age with life-threatening complications. We present the case of an elderly man with chronic pulmonary obstructive disease, who presented with chronic atypical chest pain. Computed tomography scans of the chest demonstrated left-sided BH containing kidney and spleenThus, it is essential to be aware of the coexistence of BH appearing in adult life.
