Bochdalek hernia presenting with initial local fat infiltration of the thoracic cavity in a leukemic child
2017, Radiology Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :In this case, coronal and multiplanar reformations provided additional information to better identify the diaphragmatic stripe. 3D imaging has been proven useful for stereographic perception of the hernia [10], and could differentiate Bochdalek hernia from diaphragmatic and peridiaphragmatic masses neoplasm [11]. In addition, MRI in T1 is highly valuable to evaluate fat-containing chest lesions [12].
Adult Bochdalek hernia
2005, Medical Journal Armed Forces IndiaCitation Excerpt :In the post natal evaluation of diaphragmatic hernia, ultrasonography can assist in delineating the diaphgram in its entirety and also in evaluating the viscera that has herniated into the thoracic cavity [7]. Computed Tomography is believed to be the most accurate method of diagnosing and evaluating the contents of these hernias especially the smaller ones [3,8]. CT with multiplanar reconstructions can accurately assess the thoracic cavity and also detect any other associated anomalies like hypoplasia of the right lobe of the liver as was seen in our case.

2002, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :A chest roentgenogram demonstrating gas and fluid-filled viscera above the diaphragm can support the diagnosis of Bochdalek hernia. Other more subtle findings include blunting of the costophrenic angle, presence of a posterior mediastinal mass, and small pleural effusion [4]. Computed tomography can also be diagnostic.
