The clinical case of a 53-year-old woman diagnosed with a right Bochdalek hernia complicated by intestinal obstruction is presented. This type of diaphragmatic hernia is rare, especially those located on the right side, but is the most common non-hiatal hernia. Her diagnosis focused on the computed tomography of the chest and abdomen and the repair was performed using a laparoscopic approach. A primary closure was carried out associated with the placement of polypropylene mesh. Her evolution was favorable, with no complications associated with the procedure.
