Background. Diaphragmatic hernia is a complex congenital anomaly, often associated with other structural defects with lethal potential. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CHD) often causes a chain of multiple complications since intrauterine development, the most frequent of which is pulmonary hypoplasia complicated, in turn, by the installation of p...
Bochdalek hernia, a rare congenital diaphragmatic anomaly, has garnered substantial attention due to its intricate pathophysiological underpinnings and multifaceted clinical implications. This article endeavors to provide an exhaustive analysis of Bochdalek hernia, encompassing its embryological origins, intricate pathophysiology involving the post...
Local fat infiltration of the thoracic cavity is a rare initial presentation of Bochdalek hernia. We report a case of Bochdalek hernia in a child with leukemia that demonstrated initial local fat infiltration of the thoracic cavity on computed tomography scan and progressed to an obvious diaphragmatic hernia on subsequent follow-up. We suggest that...
The accessory lobe of the liver is a rare morphological variation. It is frequently found in the lower segments. Riedel's lobe is the best known of the accessory lobes of the liver and corresponds to an enlargement of segments V and VI with an incidence of 3.3% to 14.5%.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernias occur in 1 in 3500 live births. Among the congenital diaphragmatic hernias, morgagni hernias are the rarest accounting for 2-3% of all diaphragmatic hernias. They occur through a congenital defect in the anterior part of the diaphragm just behind the sternum. In most cases the defect in the diaphragm is small and th...
