Haziness of the right hemithorax in a newborn.
We describe a neonate with an accessory diaphragm, a rare congenital anomaly. It almost always occurs in the right hemithorax, which appears diffusely hazy on the anterior chest roentgenogram. The lateral chest roentgenogram is essential in the diagnosis of this condition.
