A rare case of right sided Bochdalek hernia co-existing with intrathoracic kidney
Abstract
Background: Congenital diaphragmatic hernias are developmental defects involving the diaphragm. Three major types have been identified; Bochdalek hernia, Morgagni hernia, and hiatus/hiatal hernia, with the postero-lateral Bochdalek type being the most common. Rare concomitant existence with intrathoracic kidney was reported. Cases of left sided Bochdalek hernia were previously reported in the literature but none is associated with intrathoracic kidney. A successfully surgically treated rare case of right sided Bochdalek hernia co-existing with intrathoracic kidney in a neonate is therefore presented.
