Unusual Bochdalek hernia in puerperium.
The authors present an unusual case of a true left-sided posterolateral (Bochdalek) hernia containing stomach, transverse colon and spleen within a hernial sac in a 25-year-old female patient. They presume this voluminous herniation took place due to a rupture of congenitally preformed hernial ostium on account of increased intraabdominal pressure during repeated pregnancy. They describe an effective surgical transabdominal laparoscopic treatment.
