[Bochdalek hernia with gastric incarceration and volvulus].
Bochdalek's hernia is infrequent in adults. We communicate the case of a 22 year old male that was admitted at hospital because of a thoracic pain of sudden onset. In the exploration there was pain in left hypochondrium non tolerating decubitus. Thorax radiology showed an "arched" image in left pulmonary base and pleural shedding. The patient underwent a surgical procedure in which a great gastric herniation was found, which forced a total gastrectomy.
