dc.description.abstractCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a major malformation found in newborns and babies but rarely in adults. CDH is defined by the presence of a defect in the diaphragm, which permits the herniation of abdominal contents into the thorax. The diagnosis of CDH is based on clinical history, examinations and is confirmed by plain X-ray films and computed tomography scans. Here we report a case which was misdiagnosed at another centre as pleural effusion and managed by placement of intercostal tube drainage and later on diagnosed to be case of Morgnani-Larrey parasternal diaphragmatic hernia. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a major malformation found in newborns and babies but rarely in adults. CDH is defined by the presence of a defect in the diaphragm, which permits the herniation of abdominal contents into the thorax. The diagnosis of CDH is based on clinical history, examinations and is confirmed by plain X-ray films and computed tomography scans. The purpose of reporting this case is to provide information on late-presenting CDH and to emphasize that a high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis and to avoid unwanted complications.en_US
