Abstract:
Bochdalek diaphragmatic hernia is one of the most important surgically correctable causes of respiratory distress in the newborn. Delayed presentation in adult life is uncommon. We present a case of a 46-year-old, multigravida Kashmiri woman, who was misdiagnosed earlier and treated for pulmonary tuberculosis. Diagnosis was established pre-operatively by plain chest radiograph and barium meal. A dorso-lateral defect was located on left side of diaphragm which was corrected by using a prolene mesh.
