title: [Delayed diagnosis in right sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia].
abstract: Report on two cases with delayed diagnosis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The cause of partial and total opacity of the right chest was recognised only after thoracotomy which followed misdirected diagnostic procedures such as tomography, bronchoscopy and repeated punctures of the pleural cavity. In both cases a transdiaphragmatic liver prolapse with signs of transthoracic liver punctures was found. The diagnostic importance of sonography and if necessary, computed tomography and liver scintigraphy in infancy and childhood, is emphasised.
