[Bochdalek hernia in adults. Apropos of a case in the right side].
Posterolateral diaphragmatic hernia (Bochdalek's hernia) is an infrequent finding in adult patients. Most of them are asymptomatic. Symptomatic cases present with digestive symptoms. Sometimes the clinical picture is related to the associated congenital malformations and not to the hernia itself. It is more common on the left side and in most of the cases it lacks of hernia sac. Simple radiologic study is the clue for the diagnosis. A case of Bochdalek's hernia in a 85 year-old patient is presented.
