Abstract

Congenital diaphragmatic anomaly is a rare congenital malformation and is found more frequently on the left side than right side. We had experienced two cases of comgenital diaphragmatic anomaly on the right side. One case was 8 months old male with congenital Bochdalek hernia and the other case was 17 months old female with congenital eventration of the diaphagm. The diagnosis was established by physical examination, chest X-ray, upper G-I series and other special studies. A brief review of the related literature was also presented.
