Bochdalek hernias are the most common type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia resulting from a failure of posterolateral diaphragmatic formina closure in utero. Presentation in adults is rare and account for 5 to 30% of all congenital diaphragmatic hernias.We report a case of Bochdalek hernia in a 25-year-old man admitted to the emergency department for acute epigastric pain.
