Abstract

A case of aCongenital Bochdalek’s hernia1 in 6 days old female infant with the chief complaints of cyanosis and "dyspnea" was reported. The diagnosis was finally confirmed by the radiological findings of the chest, which were multiple cysts like, air-filled intestinal loops on the left lung field. The diaphragmatic defect was corrected successfully by the surgical transthoracic approach method. The concomitant brief review of literature was also made.
