Late presentation of left-sided congenital diaphragmatic (Bochdalek) hernia. 1981

J S Rø, and S Refsum, and T Nordshus

Two patient with late presentation of Bochdalek hernia are reported. The intraoperative findings strongly suggested a "plugging effect" of the spleen in the diaphragmatic defect, thus protecting for some time against herniation. The initial absence of respiratory symptoms indicates a normal development of the lungs in these cases of late herniation.
